Yes, of course.  I didn't mean to propose to change anything "real" of how each
organization works.  My question was meant to check if we can consider GRS to
be good although somehow misguided, and if it could be viable for them to
double-license their code (by some tricky clause, e.g. section 7 of GPLv3?)

Disclaimer: I'm not involved in either organization's copyrights.

Allowing GPL infringements makes "us" look like jackasses :-/

Yeah, that's a pita.  It's hard to change anything if everyone can veto.
