But Arch is a legal entity? Can we put "Arch" as the copyright holder?
That would make it possible for Arch to prevent packagers from distributing their own packages. It would almost certainly never happen, but naive optimism is a bad thing. I have seen OSS projects sell out to corporations before. That's also why I remove the "or any later version" clause from anything that I release under the GPL. No one can guarantee that there will never be a major loophole in a future version, or that all future versions will be in the same spirit.
