WTF? This is a very, very personal interpretation of DFSG5. One that would lead to reject any package with a copyleft license. Actually, it is already widely accepted that the system libraries exception does not apply to packages in Debian, so a license that would be the same as the GPL but without this exception wouldn’t make a single difference for us. But it would make the hell of a difference for Android/OSX/Windows, of course… And because of that, overall I don’t think it’s a bad idea. But you’d have to convince a lot of people to use it, because it only makes sense when applied to a killer application, and you can’t know by advance which ones will be. -- .''`.
