No, you're wrong. This is a FAQ. There's a difference between
changing the license for a work (impossible) and creating derivative
licenses (possible and even desirable).
The rest of your message is irrelevant because of your basic
misunderstanding.
You mean the fact that I "misunderstand" the recipients' right to copy
and re-use the text of eg the GPL?
If I'm misunderstanding the OP, then I think the OP is misunderstanding
the problem! The OP is, I believe, arguing "you cannot modify the GPL".
AIUI, you *can* modify the GPL. You just then can't *call* it the GPL,
which is a trademark issue not a copyright issue.
Cheers,
