Is it really? From a consequentialist utilitarian perspective?
By all means allow repos to opt in, although if it’s licensed under something like GPL there’s no way to convert it to non gpl without permission from every contributor. I for one am not interested in Microsoft or anyone else paying me to close my code.
Allowing people to pay $xxx to copy my copyrighted work without my agreement is simple piracy.
Either they international agreement to drop copyright as a concept, or obey the law.
