I realize now that this statement may be a little confusing. What I
meant by this is that a license would be incompatible with GPLv3 if it
explicitly forbid use of the material in ways that infringed upon
patents of the licensor.

Simply stating that patents are not covered by the license does not make
it incompatible.
