they want RMS gone to skinwalk the FSF because of the standard license header allowing for use of later versions:

> This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

they can just take any permissive garbage license, call it GPLv4 and do what they like.

@bonifartius I think this is quite conspiracy theory. and I'm not sure that GPL isn't copyrighted in any way by FSF. they're quite advanced and skilled in law. they had more than enough of that.

@iron_bug i still believe the example license header used by everyone allows for this scenario. the part i quoted specifically says "as published by the Free Software Foundation", so anyone who wants to do this needs to control the FSF.

after all, things are a conspiracy theory until they become reality :P

And a lot of them have become reality in the past years.
