> and the GPL doesn't grant the FSF any rights over your stuff

Neither did the version of OGL they published their stuff over.

Imagine that the FSF goes crazy and writes a new version of GPL which gives them ius primae noctis, and also in the same new version they state the previous old version is no longer valid. That is the approximate analogy here.

But that's not how the existing license works, so who cares about any new GPL license? Unless you explicitly said "I want my work under the GPL or whatever crazy new version of the GPL ever exists", with the extra detail that the GPL is designed by a business competitor who is jealous of your success.

It'd be crazy.
