Isn't that going a bit too far? GPL-compatibility is a significant goal, 
and IMO justifies the submission of a new license.
Regardless of the state of the NASA license, if they have chosen to 
steer clear of an existing argument by making a modification to the 
terms, that seems relevant.

    Thanks
