Yes, it's worth worrying about.  The problem is, you're going to have
the danger of fragmenting the Clojure user base.  If one part of the
community distribute their work under the CPL, while the other part
distribute their work under the GPL (or any other CPL-incompatible
license), you will not be able to combine code from both parts of the
community.  You're going to have to rely on everyone dual-licensing
their work, which kind of negates all the benefits of having dual-
licensed Clojure in the first place.

That's the way I see it, anyway.  I'm not very sure about all of this.
