Is your problem here the GPL's dry words? Or the FSF's interpretation
of it? Or the fact that the FSF eforces the GPL? Every license has its
terms, and its interpretation by those who apply the license, and is
often enforced. I doubt very much that if the FSF's interpretation
were legally unreasonable it would have still been protected after 26
years.
