The minimum compatibility criteria currently do not preclude “vanity
licenses” from being named compatible. (A “vanity license” is a
license that is created even though no appreciable difference exists
between it and an existing, established license, and often includes
some reference to its creator.) In the interest of not needlessly
walling off the commons where compatibility of terms should exist,
The needless walling off occurs when the vanity license is written. Therefore the best thing CC can do to prevent needless walling off is strongly discouraging creation of vanity licenses *before they are written*. And the biggest leverage CC has to discourage writing of vanity licenses is a blanket ban on compatibility for them. So I would strongly recommend taking exactly that position.
