Bravo!  Usually what's best for the free software movement
is to refuse to undermine copyleft.

Once in a rare while there is a good reason why allowing a weaker
license for a specific set of code will help the movement advance.
But we need to subject the idea to careful scrutiny before becoming
convinced, and see if a smaller change (less code, or a smaller
exception) would suffice to achieve the benefit.
