You should definitely write about it, but I couldn't tell you which
article it should appear in.  The FPL produces arguably *less*-free
software than the GPL (and BSD-ites argue that the GPL is less free
than the BSD license), but it accommodates free software users very
well; has an exception for free software distributors; and nicely
solves the problem of free software creation that Chris has pointed
out.
