Agreed your point. That is kind of the reason why I'm reluctant to use the GPLV2. If you distribute my software I want you to also honor the license agreement and release your resulting source code. In other words everyone has a gun pointed at each other head's and it keeps everyone honest.
There are current ongoing issues with GPLV2 with router, ip camera's and some other big named businesses that have bundled open source software but have not honored the license agreement and released or make publicly available those modifications. In doing so they're in breach of the license agreement and considering they're a commercial entity the copyright holders should rightly so be compensated.
You can take the chance and be the `nice` guy and release your source code under a BSD or GPLv2 license though with anything open source don't be surprised if you find your work inside a Toyota with your email address.
