Because of the way the GFDL works, ownership is transferred to every person
that receives it.
Ownership of what? The ownership of copyright doesn't get
transferred. Copies of the work don't get transferred. What gets
transferred? Bits?
I agree with you on this. GFDL is a licence, not a transfer of ownership.
