There are a few risks that could be harmful, although I don't think they are neither certain nor very direct.

But, if we do give up our principle of only using and allowing open source (that we held for over 20 years) here are a few of these risks.

The first I come to think of is that we alienate the volunteers that hold these ideals high (remember the mp4 vote on Commons in 2014).

Second, we dilute the concept of "open" by implying that these usage restricting licenses are just as good as FOSS licenses.

Third, we are not being a good role model for the rest of the open movement.

With these risks in mind, I would much rather we wait for a FOSS model, not rushing on a hype train, even if it is not as powerful.
