It would probably be useful to include reference to GPLv3 somewhere in 
there, and perhaps an enhancement request to the RQCC would move that along.

But the distribution license doesn't change the copyright ownership.

Whether using GPL, any other open source license, or any proprietary 
license, the copyright always belongs to the creator of the original work.

Indeed, it's that copyright ownership that makes defining terms of 
distribution possible.

Only explicit transfer to the public domain eliminates copyright 
ownership of original works.
