I don't think so.  There are still various categories of things that cannot fit
under any of these licenses:

  (1) legal documents (such as licenses, statutes, etc.)
  (2) quotes and other press / marketing materials (e.g., we do not give
permission for someone to change a KDE press release so it looks official but
says KDE sucks or is otherwise false or misleading)
  (3) corporate logos and other images
  (4) things that lack a clear license, or a license is not available, but are
otherwise important

So perhaps these exceptions can be built in to solve this problem.

Ciao,
