Aside from patent-commons, which is just a way to allow mutual defense
for fellow FOSS projects (assuming I understood this correctly), what I
know of is to give irrevocable, transferable non-exclusive license to
anyone to use your patents for any software released under the GPL. Such
a license is GPLv3 compatible, is proof against acquisition, but does
not diminish the defensive aspect of the patent.
Bear in mind - I am not a lawyer.
