GNAT is certainly encumbered -- you cannot sell a derived work without
making the sources available.
People should stop assuming that just because this sort of business
arrangement is useful it can be described by a simple existing word.
Stating the license name (e.g., GPL) seems as useful as any other
description. Trying for anything more general doesn't work, as
the reason there are varying licenses is that there are differences
in terms.
To quote Bill Hancock:
"Compatible" means "Different".
If they meant "Same" they would say "Same".
