A contract to make RMS' kids (if any) become child porn stars
would be "illegal document" just like the GPL3.

Yeah, between consenting adults. This reminds me that in the GNU
Republic, linking creates a "derived work" (see the GNU Copyleft
Act) akin to (quoting renowned GNUtian Alan Mackenzie) "embryo
which is derived from the egg and sperm."
Accordingly, GNUtians believe that linking is akin to sex without
condoms (and that it is not oral or anal) resulting in 100% rate
of embryo (partner is a side effect) contamination by the GPL
virus.
