Don't attempt to use copyright (a government privilege) to promote freedom. That is the problem.

I say you license all software under the following terms:
1) This software is free to use without any restriction what so ever to anyone who claims no copyright or patents.
2) This software may not be used by anyone who holds copyrights or patents that are not put in the public domain.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.    


Attempting to use copyright law to give you the right to compel a 3rd party to act by releasing their code is missing the point. It gives legitimacy to copyright in the first place. Instead, only those who believe in copyright and patents should be subject to them. Let them eat their own dog food.
