> Using copyright law to force corporations and developers to become contributors and active participants in your software project is, to me, a ridiculous notion.

I don't really understand this sentence. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. There is code, and it has a license, and if you don't like the terms of the license, you don't use the code. Is it also ridiculous that that most software/movie/music/book creators use copyright law to "force" consumers to pay for their output?
