Creating compatible licenses is highly appreciated. Especially
compatibility with the GPL [1]. License proliferation is a big problem,
but the bigger problem is creating new licenses that are not compatible
(don't let you mix and share code) with the dominant licenses out there.
Thanks for addressing this point specifically in your new license.

Cheers,

Mark
