Richard Stallman would be the last person on earth who would let that happen. I think you would be more likely to see problems come about because the new license would go to even greater (i.e. stricter) lengths to prevent proprietary software domination. Stallman has made it know that he feels all software should be "free as in freedom". Whether you agree with him or not one thing you can say is that he's rock solid in his beliefs about how software should be distributed, released, and protected.

That's my 2 cents.
