license in order to further the copyleft agenda and deal with emerging legal
and technical challenges.

While I agree that there could be serious problems if a future license
deviates in significant ways from the current one, I don't think the current
intent is a nefarious one.  Rather they are looking to continue to advance
the overall movement in a way that is "consistent with the spirit" of the
current license.

Are you objecting in general about the concept of any possible change to the
license or is there some specific about this change that you are worrying
about?
