oh please. if you were trying to help you would have read the gpl, and
read the gpl faq. even the fsf requires contributors to their gpl
products to disclaim their copyright or assign it to the fsf.

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html#AssignCopyright

seeing as they wrote and maintain the gpl i think they speak with a
bit more 'authority' than you. rather than rail against digium for
following the practices of the fsf, perhaps you should go to the
source - sue for an injunction against the fsf and let's just see how
for you get.
