It is not so unreasonable: Linus said:

How can you _ever_ sign anything sight unseen? That's just stupid, and that's totally regardless of any worries about the FSF.

Said that way, it looks like the correct thing to do. However, given that (as you say) "v2 or later" licensing gives the choice to the user, I'm not particularly worried about misuse.

It creates the possibility that code created in a downstream work may not be usable upstream. Linus has put his cards on the table in the past; he wants code back.
