Funny, I get the protection that I want from the GPL (others might want
to substitute there own FLOSS license).
It might be worth remembering that different folks have different goals
in
releasing the software they write, and there are a number of mechanisms
that can be used to help achieve those goals, no matter what investment
you’ve made.
