I don't think that the Linux kernel should be used for license promotion, but if it is, then it should be used to promote GPL-v2-only.
I already *used* copyleft-next on Linux on a dual licensed manner, the patches in question are about using SPDX to simpllify things and adaopt the SPDX annotations.
And, to re-iterate once more, I'm using copyeft-next as that is *my* license of choice for *any* new software projects I use and I want to enable cross prolination between them. I have been doing this since I wrote CRDA many years ago. I have many reasons for using copyleft-next and I've listed many of the reasons why a free software developer would care to enable this cross polination but yet again you seem to be disregarding all that.
This is similar to how 2-cluase BSD is compatible with the GPL and is used for cross polination to BSDs even though in practice a lot of that cross polination may not happen.
There are practical uses here and I've been using this license for years now and I have no intention on stopping.
