If nothing else, it would be an interesting drafting exercise and
might point out structural issues.
I'd love to see it. As I've carped elsewhere, the state of the art of
permissive licenses is pretty poor.
(And I do think, if I could snap my fingers and change all licenses
at
once, having parallel licenses akin to CC-BY/CC-SA/CC-ND for
Apache/MPL/EPL/GPL/AGPL would be a huge win for the world.)
ND really?
If I could snap my fingers, there would be no parallel licenses; only
a set of public domain->permissive->weak copylefts->strong
copyleft->network copyleft instruments for all overlapping magisteria
(and they all do).
