TrueCrypt 7.1a - the one with the actual functionality - wasn't released under this license. It was released under the earlier one. And I don't think it allows for this version or later ala GPL. I'm not sure of this, though.

Well could you not simply take 7.2 and patch it back to something resembling 7.1a, thus keeping both the license and the functionality?

Only if you write those patches without referring to the 7.1a source, which would be difficult since thousands of lines have been removed.
