Isn't "in the public interest" a defence in German author rights law?

this is paranoid. Since in every other area we are trying to resist
extension of IP laws, why accept the most outrageous claims by IP law
proponents in something as absolutely basic as simple written discussion
of ideas. Should I attach a copy of the gfdl to this and every email I
write to allow people to quote it in reply?

...only if you want them to be able to add invariant sections about their
relationship to you?  ;-)

Seriously, this came about because of concern that you were giving in to
IP law and copyrighting your article under the strictest possible terms.
If I can negotiate a licence privately when needed, that's fine for me.
Slightly worried what happens when you fall off the planet, though, but
then I guess you probably won't sue me.
