I'm not advocating that anyone should lightly consider modifying the DFSG. I'm just pointing out that it would be a shame to end up creating a useless license for the sake of complying with guidelines which may or may not have been written with that license's application in mind, should it turn out that creating a useful one is not possible whilst complying with those guidelines. Anyway, I trust Branden to Do The Right Thing, so I don't think we're going to serve any useful purpose by going to far with this.
