As I understand it, the WMF made an agreement with RMS that the projects would be dual licensed and not switched entirely. I think making that agreement was a mistake, but there's not much that can be done about it now. The WMF shouldn't go back on its word.

I would be interested to hear what your source was for such a deal between RMS and the WMF.
