I believe that as long as the licence must be share-alike (for a given
definition of "share-alike"), that should work, yes.  Seems to me also that
would address the concerns of a number of other contributors to the
discussion, but I don't pretend to have followed in the exhaustive detail to
know if the LWP had a good reason not to write it that way from the start :)
