Just curious, how would you phrase a license that did not hinder
compatibility yet still prevented someone from modifying the program
and releasing it under non-free terms?

(We just saw an example of what to fear with BIND: its BSD license
allowed modifications under more restrictive licensing conditions,
so the upstream maintainers are now putting out the new version
under a non-free copyright).
