My understanding of the FSF/GNU copyright assignment is that in their part of the legal paperwork, they pledge to only relicense the code under a license of similar spirit. So the above is FUD AFAICT. Now if you don't trust the FSF that much that you think GPLv4 will be a proprietary license, then maybe your above statement makes sense. OTOH, if you haven't understood the FSF/GNU copyright assignment, it might explain why you seem to be oblivious to other people's reservations with the Canonical CLA.
