License proliferation is bad, should be avoided if possible; most
licenses are incompatible. The free hardware community is probably too
small to afford this.
There already are cores released under GPLv2, so if you really want to
create a new license make it at least compatible with GPLv2.
Suppose you want to create a SoC from free cores and can't because of
incompatible licenses. You'll have to reimplement most of them losing an
advantage free stuff (software, hardware, whatever) should give you.
