I suppose the main reason for the lack of interest are the problems
understanding what this can be good for, if you release something
including samples for usage i think the interest will be larger (assuming
it's really something useful of course... ;-))

The Perl Artistic License has the advantage that it forces a distinction
of the original version and custom extensions, apart from that it's much
like GPL i think.
