their FSF membership, and a large number of "new blood" members vote
in a new board which approves a GPLv4 which substantially changes the

to the GPLv2 definition, or by making the GPLv4 == BSD).
The FSF is not a membership organization in this sense. We run an
associate membership program, but associate members have no voting power
over the board or of management or of the unionized employees.
