SFLC != FSF. For one thing, the SFLC was quite happy to enforce the busybox license despite busybox being GPLv2 only (no "or later" clause, meaning no GPLv3 for the project ever). The FSF seems to think that sticking with GPLv2 shows a lack of purity and commitment to the glorious cause, or some such: http://lwn.net/Articles/176582/

This seems reasonable enough to me. It's not as if the world is short of hosting sites.
