We can't have opensolaris without this; it's one reason Linux why
Linux and possibly other projects can't evolve its license; the FSF
requires it to. (That and 10 other legal reasons; not having it would
have only one advantage: we wouldn't be having this license discussion
as the license would be cast in stone for perpetuity.)

... I don't get this.

The FSF have such an agreement, as do various other projects. What's wrong
with ours? (which as I understand it, is actually nicer than most).
