That allows Canonical to make proprietary forks of the code (eg, to
engage in the dual licensing business model).  This is very
troublesome for me; it's too asymmetric a relationship.

This is a right that the FSF assignment doesn't give the FSF and which
the FSF wouldn't exercise even if they had it.
