But the point of a soup kitchen is to give without expecting any RoI, not even non-monetary return.

If I want to build a community of people who upstream patches for a project, copyleft does it better than saying patches are not required.

MIT is like a soup kitchen because soup kitchens are like MIT. I don't want to work in a soup kitchen.

I'm confident that you can't back that up with any facts. MIT/BSD projects are doing just fine at community and patches.
