Thank you for taking the time to understand the scenario.

Rather than being a moral consideration, it's directly related to our
mission to protect Open Source and facilitate its development and use
everywhere. We would create, by our adoption of a license, an area in which
interoperable software under any of the so-far-approved Open Source
licenses *can not participate.* If we are to be good stewards of Open
Source, we should not *constrain* Open Source this way.

    Thanks
