As a free software hacker *I* value the evolution of copyleft and copyleft-next
does just that. Some may have thought that it may not have been possible to
evolve copyleft and work with an evolved license on Linux, but copyleft-next
shows it is possible. Here in lies the value I see in it.
I agree that we want to keep the number of licenses as small as
possible but we cannot really dictate which dual licensing options a
submitter selects unless the license is GPL-2.0-only incompatible,
which copyleft-next is not.
