Sounds like a Marxist dream-come-true to me.

1) Dangle promises of copyright permissions.
2) Steal the rights of those who accept the offer.

Maybe in the Marxist land of GNU, that fraud is morally and
legally acceptable but under U.S. law it is an illegal misuse of
copyright that is strictly against public policy.
