What is the realistic alternative aside from being jealously paranoid hiding of all our works for fear that with effort somebody else might use it for evil? It essentially already requires guilds to remotely enforce and works to make the whole field weaker. The approach of deliberately keeping everyone ignorant as possible is in itself what many including myself would call evil.
It is already a field of tinkerers, enforcement would essentially require a "guild structure" in a world that already doesn't cooperate and any who could enforce it in themselves would be evil.
I can't help but roll my eyes at many of the so called ethical quandries because they are such obvious cases of scapegoating the actions of others. It is like trying to blame an olympic shooter for writing a book on safety and techniques for because the guy decided to spree shoot. How about blaming the original bad actors instead of leaping down the degrees of separation?
