Would that even keep FSF in the clear? The standard blurp about
"GPL version 2 or any later version" allows the FSF to suck up
the improvements people make and release them under a proprietary
Version 3.
Of course, quite strong arguments can be made that it is extremely
unlikely the FSF would ever do so, but I don't think a rule which
depends on judging the author's *intent* is the way we should go.
