Sure it does. It triggers when I want to distribute derivative works
(which is okay). The only 'problem' is that the FSF makes totally
idiotic claims. But those claims can only help someone to put all the
FSF's copyrights in quasi "public domain" (I mean the penalty for
copyright misuse) or, perhaps, help the FSF in establishing insanity
defense. I mean their claims like

In an object-oriented language such as Java, if I use a class that
is GPL'ed without modifying, and subclass it, in what way does the
GPL affect the larger program?
Subclassing is creating a derivative work. Therefore, the terms of
the GPL affect the whole program where you create a subclass of a
GPL'ed class.

Hey dak, that's why "the legal effect of the FAQ (which are not
part of the license itself) is uncertain." ;-)
