I can't immediately picture the specific situation you're talking about,
but in general we do care. For one thing because we recommend other
licenses depending on the situation (see
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.en.html).

We also do support all free software, not just GPLed or even just
copyleft free software. Our licens...@fsf.org team answers questions
that have to do with other licenses in both their correspondence with
the community and in our compliance work.
