	AIUI, it's not so much a matter of trusting the license as it is a
matter of being able to defend it: if someone violates the license
they will not be able to attack the violator if they are not the
copyright holder.

	Remember that to the FSF, the GPL isn't just (or even primarily) a
license. It is above else a weapon to push their vision of open
source software forward. A GPL that they cannot enforce in front of
a judge is useless to them.
