That "compromise" pretty much ignores most everything the FSF is about.
Things go stale pretty quickly in this industry, and I imagine that a
profit-motivated software author would keep paying fees until they
ceased to be profitable, which would be about the same time it becomes
obsolete.
That doesn't sound like something the FSF---with its stated goals---would
care to implement. If you think it would be a win, though, maybe you
could find somebody to implement it.
