Seems like there should be a legal organization whose only statutory purpose is that they have a process to authorize someone to sue for GPL violations. Then everyone doing GPL code could just assign their copyright to this organization, and it would be impossible for that license to be revoked, because the "owner" would be structurally incapable of taking that legal action? Ie. only the General Public Licensor organization could revoke the license, and the GPLor is prevented by charter from doing so. (But you could still go after copyright violations.)
