    I think that Savannah-hackers can go ahead and approve the project,
    unless RMS has any concern.

Yes, let's do it.

    I think you are more qualified to make the technical decision than me,
    the important thing is that we don't use the code with that
    restriction, specially when it is bound to a non-available license!
    (maybe now it is available, but it was not at that time).

Both a and b seem reasonable.  c could also be reasonable, but if you
are giving up a lot by doing that, a or b is probably better.  

It's a technical decision, so do as you see fit.
