I have been using copyleft-next for years and cross polination for me is real.

Sometimes such cross polination is purely speculative, but we don't
stop and ask people for evidence of this.

You forgot that another reason is because some attorneys like some
permissive license more. That's it. The Clear BSD license is an example.
In that case it was a new license to Linux. So let us be clear that one
could argue that was a bit of license promotion.

You are incorrect.

I have a vision for Linux kernel testing and I have put *years* of
effort in this regard and thinking about architecture behind all this.
So yes cross polination is *extremely* important to me and hence some
of this effort.
