You've put your finger on a major defect.

This is not the right forum for me to express my opinions as to what is
wrong with GPLV3.  It is being discussed extensively and knowledgeably on
Groklaw.  While most there are supporters, they are discussing it
reasonably objectively.  As to why I say nothing can be done, what I see as
major defects are inevitable consequences of what Richard clearly views as
essential features.
