[1] I suspect that this will be how the FSF gets dissovled -- a lawyer-laden corporation uses GNU software, someone inserts a compromise into a
rarely-looked-at tool, compromises said corporation, and corporation
sues the FSF into oblivion, gaining all the intellectual property (all
those copyrights assigned to the FSF!) in the process. I think it's
only a matter of /when/, especialy if GNU software truly finishes choking out alternatives.
I never have thought the reasoning for assigning my copyrights to FSF was very sound. I think there is certainly an opportunity for someone to start their own legal foundation to fund the defense of companies like this.
