Unless they are claiming some specific flaw in the Artistic Licence,
the FSF and all users of the GPL may well be interested parties, as
the GPL claims to be a pure copyright licence (even though, to me,
it also seems to use language associated with the formation of a
contract).  Even if they are not legally "interested entities", I 
could imagine that the FSF may want to help to avoid a precedent that
weakens the GPL.
