Only thing I would change in this proposal is to make it Apache, BSD or MIT licensed instead of free software (which implies GPL), or at least make sure libraries are packed up as LGPL instead of bundling everything under (A)GPL.
I know for sure this is a controversial point of view, but to me it is obvious (even if I can see the reasoning behind hard-line Free Software advocacy).
(What would probably do more good for both Open Source and Free Software in my opinion would be to get rid of CLAs as far as possible since they create a unhealthy relationship where the strong part is constantly tempted to relicense contributed code.)
