I'm confused. Why does this modification need to be in the GPL itself,
rather than a more traditional dual-licensing model?
It sounds to me almost as if you want all derived works to grant
*copyright* to the originating entity, so that it can freely relicense
those mods under a different license. Is that your intent, or am I
completely missing your point?
