A very interesting development.

I notice that all the licences have an MPL-ish patent clause (whereby patent litigation terminates both the patent grant and the copyright grant), so they won't be compatible with GPL v2.

Maybe, as someone said earlier, it fully depends on what they plan to license under these licenses. Maybe they finally got it, and we can start to discuss what licenses are more and less communist ;).
