This being just an informed layman's point of view, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of legal footwork involved to get this right, but it would be very helpful. Just imagine that people wouldn't be forced to roll their own licenses because the GPL agenda doesn't fit the constraints under which they can make their software Open Source.

The Open Source definition explicitly precludes NC and ND licenses. So it is not possible to call something Open Source that is licensed with those constraints.
