FWIW, I think that adopting a different (more stringent) license policy
hits two issues:
1. Where do you draw the line? Based on which concrete principles to
decide for this or for that?
Here, each time we discuss license policy, it is some WANL sessions
[1]. Therefore, the line cannot be drawn using legal consideration (as
FSF does and then used by the GNU project).
How to draw the line? Using my personal perception? Using yours? How
do we resolve the disagreements?
I think it is not affordable to adopt a different license policy than
the one listed by the GNU project [2]. It is a pragmatical line
because the Guix project does not have the manpower nor the structure
to do differently.
2. The GNU project is already strict on what is accepted; for good
reasons. The Guix project is a niche and being more stringent would
lead to be an even more niche. And I miss what aim it would serve.
