Then he's being downmodded unjustly, as he listed two specific organizations, included an "etc." in his list of organizations, and prefaced the entire list with a "perhaps". Regardless of where the answers to these questions come from, it would be good to share the confusion with the FSF, in hopes that they can remedy it. I do not believe their goal is to inflict confusing licenses upon the general public, but they do have rather specific goals and attempt to address those goals in their licenses.

Well, there's no such thing as the GNU Foundation (there's the Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project), so technically there's only one. :) Assuming that he meant Free Software Foundation, his mention of The Free Software Law Center invalidates my point, though, because clearly they're not closely tied to the Free Software Foundation. Otherwise, they wouldn't say "Open Source" on their home page without going into a diatribe about the term.
