Hello GNU folks, Can you gentlemen disambiguate or resolve the tension between the following statements in the GPL FAQ[1]?
"You can use the GPL terms (possibly modified) in another license provided that you call your license by another name and do not include the GPL preamble, and provided you modify the instructions-for-use at the end enough to make it clearly different in wording and not mention GNU (though the actual procedure you describe may be similar)."[2] "In fact, the GPL is copyrighted, and its license permits only verbatim copying of the entire GPL."[3] The second statement appears to be slightly misleading given the first.
