No, my intention is not to make it as easy as possible for someone to legally use my code. I definitely consider it a matter of principle, and I think it's a shame when programmers choose a permissive license instead, purely out of expedience. I do not agree that the merits of a principled act depends on how effectively it is conveyed to others.

Surely an act that doesn't affect others can't have any moral side, positive or negative.
