As noted, such licenses have been proposed, and met a lukewarm
reception.  I think ECL 2.0 was approved primarily because of the
understanding that it was temporary.  If you back and read the archives
(e.g.
http://www.nabble.com/For-Approval:-Educational-Community-License-1.0-p10051597.html),
you can see that moving to Apache 2.0 was a serious (though of course
not binding) plan.
