All "official" GNU software is copyright by the FSF. They could turn
around and license future glibc versions under the GPL (or even GPLv3),
elimating much of the distribution.
Not all of them.
Is it worth worrying about _possible_ future license changes?
You trimmed out the rest of what I said which missed the point. If the
software is under GPL, there is already a patent defense provision in
it. Context is important.
It
certainly is something to keep in mind, but I don't know that it should
be the top thing.
This does poibt out a good reason to not assign copyrights to others; I
have never done that on my (mostly minor) patches to Open Source
software.
Copyright assignment can be very beneficial to a project in many other
cases.
