Yes, courts like to screw things up, but I don't believe even a court could error so badly to give any credence to the idea that proprietary terms are in any way similar in spirit and addresses new concerns in software freedom.
>the other listed items aren't on the license text so they are meaningless.
It specifically says "The Free Software Foundation may publish", not "The microsoft software foundation may publish".
Any hijacking of the FSF by a proprietary software company would lead to the foundation immediately disbanding and no future versions published by anyone else are valid.
It's hardly meaningless to anyone that has hundreds of freedom fighters lined up ready to carry out a GNU/Exorcism.
