I never could understand why the FSF has such a boner for copyright and the infinite legal minutia surrounding it. Every developer out there is just pulling this code at will, has NEVER read the license, nor cares about it a single bit. Yet, the contributing FAQ they put out revolves solely around copyright and attribution issues? Let me go out on a limb and say that copyright and attribution are definitely NOT the actual frequently asked questions that contributors have.
