+1 from Slovenia as well.

This is obviously an issue that needs tackling (and has been 
coming for quite a long while now) to the extend that we are 
seeing several companies try to hack up their own solution. But 
the days of companies one-offing their own FOSS licenses behind 
close doors are past (good riddance!) and a proper solution to 
such a big issue needs to be drafted with a much wider set of 
stakeholders taken into account, preferably in public.
