No need for these two paragraphs at all.  If you add them now, someone
will just come along later and rip them out.  Please don't include them
in the first place.

Not to mention the first paragraph doesn't make sense, think about
"which" version 2 the FSF published (hint, there was 5 or 7 or so...)
That's why we have one in the kernel tree for everyone to rely on.
