Indeed, it would be much easier for downstream derivatives to be able to
consider the licensing approach. I've had an issue with MIT software
with core modules using GPL2-only, and thus incompatible with GPL3+ and
AGPL. GPL-compatibility would be a nice indication to have, especially
when designing a Blend.

Such (hopefully rare) licensing mix situations arise as well with
emulators released under the GPL but requiring hardware with proprietary
blobs to run, or proprietary compiler to build, as you mentioned.

*** Honestly, 1 is fine, 5 would enable entering the FSF 100% libre
list, and the others would just break compatibility with Debian for no
clear advantage, so not worth considering, IMO.
