Now, this part is downright bizarre. Further proof that tampering with
good things like the GPL comes from people who are confused with its
intent and purpose.

I hope that this doesn't mean that once you remove the triangle

reimplement?), that upstream's confusion about their own license won't
stop it from trickling down to main.
