If Richard Stallman gets mad at the linux community for not using the term gnu/linux and decides to release a new version of the GPL that undoes its current meaning (and e.g. allows proprietary forking etc), thus affecting all programs currently licenced under the GPL, what could anyone do about that? And please don't say, "oh, he would *never* do something like that."
