How do you measure "increased demand"?
Is demand "one person demanding", or demand it somehow related to the
number of people involved? Or maybe "demand" equates to something like
"amount of discussion on debian-user"?
Or is this "increased demand" simply something you are asserting, and
not something which is measurable?

If that's your personal ideal, fine.
However, if any software had that as a condition of distribution, that
software could only be distributed in non-free.
