For what its worth, I agree with you.
I can't afford lawyers on retainer to untangle things or to defend a suite. Hence the reason would be happy to use a permissive GPL license and assign any IP to GNU or FSF. I don't take the position due to philosophy or perceived moral high ground. Its simply economic for me. Anyone who has not experienced the economics of a technology lawsuit is in for a shock. In the past, I spent 10,000's on a lawyer in a technology case. I'm not going through that again, unless I'm independently wealthy. (I think I had the moral high ground since I was suing a chronic spammer who harassed me for nearly 15 years. I tried for years to get off the lists, and finally had to resort to the courts). Jeff
