We shouldn't create a special status for FSF which makes us deny
consideration entirely, without doing so for all license creators. We can
and should, however, protect FSF's trademarks and their authority in
controlling the text of the version of the license that is *called *GPLv3.
We should probably thus not consider this combination of two texts for
approval without first removing the name of FSF and the name GPLv3 from the
combination.
