Hello Charles,
I've just finished reading the article.
Fairly interesting, indeed; thanks for pointing it out!

I am disappointed that an article about Free Software licenses is being
circulated without any license and is, thus, effectively All Rights
Reserved.
I would encourage its copyright holder(s) to license it in a DFSG-free
manner under free and GPL-compatible terms...

Moreover, I am also disappointed by the fact that Ninka (the license
recognition tool that was used for the study [1][2]) is licensed under
the terms of the GNU AfferoGPL v3 (which I consider a non-free licensing
choice)...

 Have a nice day,

The same to you!
