I will recommend that to anyone using TGPPLv1. As I just alluded to in another
post to this list, I'm also working on a "TGPPLv2" (with the help and
encouragement of Bradley Kuhn) which would allow anyone to make a derived work
be GPL-licensed. That way anyone using TGPPLv2 would automatically have the
option of switching to GPL, and would not have the option (while still using
TGPPLv2) of preventing downstream users from switching to GPL.
