All fair enough and I am not an antitrust lawyer, so both of us are probably equally in the dark about how likely a possibility it is. It is definitely new territory, but then you never know what will provoke the FTC (or who is having the behind-the-scenes conversations with them).

What I think is intriguing about it is that it is almost an inchoate threat -- it's not likely now, but as the copyleft-next license becomes more popular the competitive threat becomes more real. So you've planted the seed and there's not an "oops, never mind" opportunity later in time. It's a time bomb.
