That can easily be remedied by one line in the copyright notice.

However in general I'd like to thank you for posting a very clear and
concise description of the goals and features of each approach.  
Hopefully this will make it more clear to those people who are
currently using GPL, but *don't* agree with the FSF goals for a
new world order, that they ought to be exploring other copyright options.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
