For nearly 15 years, if you were a serious GPL violater the FSF counsel who would carry out the legal moves against you was Eben Moglen. That's what "behind" means. When RMS asked Eben to act for him in connection with his (RMS') GPL2 it was because there was no lawyer behind the GPL until Eben came along. Without enforcement the GPL wouldn't be much use to us. Whatever -- let's lighten up, come along and ask him yourself!
