Having just BY-SA is better than having BY-SA-Monday, BY-SA-Tuesday,
Son-of-BY-SA, Soylent-BY-SA, and many other incompatible flavors of
BY-SA (even if most of them are comparably free). So, while I agree
with you that compatibility can hurt freedom under some circumstances,
unnecessary incompatibility generally hurts freedom.
