They came to a consensus yeeeears ago about what can and cannot go into Free Software licenses.
I'm all for more fairness, but remember that for example the GPL is a giant legal hack, and maybe the next breakthrough will be an equally big legal and/of technical hack and not necessarily an attempt to amend other free licenses?
Edit: seeing how things play out in the US and Canada I'm even more sure than before that politics should be kept far out of tech.

- amelius 7y agoYes, you get the point.
