I think this is more likely to hurt a project than to help it. Companies will avoid it entirely, putting work into something with a more permissive license. If there isn't an equivalent, they might implement one, open source it (a lot of tech companies have open sourced some big things), and that will be the one that gains popularity.

As long as as developers are willing to develop something 80% as good or a company open sources something that good, the one with the messy license will never get the same traction.
