hehe, well, if you make it available with bsd3/mit, if someone really wants they can gpl it, so anyone arguing that it must be gpl from the get go should just commit to forking it :)
(you know you're doing well when folks want to fork you!)
Since then, when I hear "greater good" I feel an urge to kill (only half joking here). And "requiring the source code" sounds pretty much like "greater good" for me. If I'm releasing the code, then I'm releasing it. If I think that some asshole, who invented the best smartphone on the planet, will use it for his own profit and if I feel pain thinking so, I'm not going to release it. Releasing source code and attaching a piece of political agenda to is is not a coding activity, it's a specific kind of political activity - a political propaganda.
