That would be my spontaneous interpretation, too. But, OTOH, I don't see
a hard reason for a different one, eg. the current GPL version from back
then, or any version. Grmpf. tricky.
Does anybody know whether conclusive actions also apply to copyright

I've just asked RMS whether he knows some legally useful material on
that, hope he isn't too busy.
