A change by the FSF to the GPL is more likely to close a loophole
than open one. Honestly, if you trust no one, I don't see why you're

The way I always looked at this issue was like this:
Someone gives you a copy of (say) xsoldier, under the GPL v2, or
later, *your choice*. You can choose to pass that extra choice along
to everyone you distribute to (I like doing this) or you can choose
not to.
The choice itself is not a part o
