I find both new names to be more clear and descriptive.

Being the "permissive" name my only real objection to these licenses,

(Notwithstanding the GPL incompatibility, which sadly seems to be a
deliberate design goal, yet still within the bounds of the OSD.)

I feel this is important too and I congratulate on your efforts.
