      That will never happen. For a start Linus Torvalds doesn’t even like GPLv3 let alone a clumsily modified version of other licenses. You can’t change the license on software without the permission of all the different parties who contributed to it. There’s a huge amount of corporate sponsorship for the Linux foundation anyway so it’s never happening.

      Agreed, there’s definitely a lot of potential with this kind of license (although they may be too narrow in their definition, it could be a slightly more widely aimed license would be more effective in practice)
