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.
