Could you back that up, please? I was looking for something to confirm or
deny this myself, but didn't find anything.

I did, however, find
  <http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/blog/articles/20050506-foundation/>

Quoting:
  "Note that the Foundation would never change the license used for the
   code or documentation, if that could be set in stone that would be
   even better."

Is this still relevant?
