I'm not advocating the GPL...only a GPL compatible license. Regarding
the benefits to a dual license or reclicense, are you sure there
*aren't* benefits? If it is easy to move to GPL compatibility, then
is it worth worrying about? *I don't know* what kinds of innovations
people will dream up in the future that will be allowed by a GPL
compatible license. *I do know* that they won't happen if there are
license conflicts.

My initial post had a link that may help answer this.
