Yes, at some point before the next proposal round opens I'd like to propose a policy along the lines that HP packages must be usable for developing software under any reasonable license including proprietary licenses. That would allow GPL tools (e.g. gcc is GPL but is used to compile proprietary code) and allow LGPL libs but would exclude GPL libs. I expect the contentious point in such a discussion to be around LGPL libs (partly because there tends to be a great deal of unnecessary confusion around it anyway).
+1 excellent pragmatic proposal
