Negotiate the license above only for noncomercial/free software.
Hasn't this been done before? Something about a license only for GPL 
programs?

That allows GPL code to use the licensed material, derivitave also get 
the right to use them as long as they are GPL, which is already required 
by the GPL, so it's not a further restriction.
