Invariant sections aren't the only part of the license that's problematic, they're just the most obscene. So far, I've seen them used in a way that I found personally quite offensive. But I can't modify it, so I'm screwed.

Agreed. I doubt anyone will be motivated enough to write a Free typesetting application ... oh, wait. I doubt anyone will be motivated enough to write a robust set of graphics drivers for *nix ... oh, wait. I doubt anyone will be motivated enough to write a license which ensures that everybody will always have access to the source code of an application ... oh, wait. Maybe I don't agree.
