That would only get him an injunction against the FSF.  The GPL is a model
license.  When I license a work of mine to you under the GPL only you and I
are involved.  The fact that the license I grant you is word for word
identical to the one the FSF uses for gcc is irrelevant.  They are two
seperate licenses.

In the US it is bad form but quite safe.
