I just wonder what is your take on the following piece of GNU wisdom
and NASA OSA in general.

NASA Open Source Agreement
The NASA Open Source Agreement, version 1.3, is not a free software
license because it includes a provision requiring changes to be your
“original creation”. Free software development depends on combining
code from third parties, and the NASA license doesn't permit this.
We urge you not to use this license. In addition, if you are a United
States citizen, please write to NASA and call for the use of a truly
free software license.
