in the light of the whitepaper the FSF have produced 
http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/whitepaper-web 
has the position on GRUB 2 changed?

I am a bit curious about this paragraph too:

"No representative from Canonical contacted the FSF about these issues 
prior to announcing the policy. This is unfortunate because the FSF, in 
addition to being the primary interpreter of the license in question, is 
the copyright holder of GRUB 2, the main piece of GPLv3-covered software 
at issue."
