I'm actually ok with the excluding of GPL incompatible licenses.  I might
not like it, but it seems to me that if the bulk of the current team feels
that way, it seems good to me.

I just don't like excluding GPL compatible licenses.  There is no reason,
other than a desire to force others to use GPL, to reject a public domain
license.  There can be no arguement about wanting to give people choices and
freedom and at the same time reject a public domain license.
