> The problem is you could have a huge legal battle over it. Of course, and it would be a real PITA, but I don't see how it would be that much different from a GPL violation law suit right now. If you publish your source code, even under GPLv3, there is nothing that really stops anybody else from taking it and violating the crap out of the terms and conditions. In pretty much all jurisdictions I'm aware of, the copyright holders are the only ones who can sue for copyright infringement (setting aside the whole "is the GPL a contract?" debate for the moment[1][2], which would also open up suing for breach of contract in some juristicions). You can slap any license constraints you like on your source code and publish it, but if you really don't have the resources to pursue legal action for violations to begin with, that already isn't worth anything and the software is effectively in the public domain.
