alimiracle: Although I'm generally in favour of strong copyleft, I don't think that's appropriate in this case, for tactical reasons.

It would be good to show that FSF supporters can in fact endorse an OS that is not GNU and not GPL but still 100% free software.

Another thing is that one would want to encourage the OpenBSD project to be inspired by LibertyBSD to make the upstream distribution more free, which in turn would make LibertyBSD easier to maintain. Applying a non-permissive license like the GPL would make this very unlikely to happen.
