[companies activily supporting]: Who would judge that? Thats too fuzzy for
a license.

[patent claims against users of free software]: I suppose there is no
single company or indiviual that does not use free software in some way.
Would this make an end to all patent suits? No. Large companies could
simply create small companies for the only purpose to use the software
in Question on their data for a fee.

Software covered by such a license would no longer be part of debian, since
it discriminates against fields of endeavour.
