Almost every production ready activitypub and federated web framework is under hard copyleft. There is not a single company who will use the technology (unless you are being boycotted by the fediverse like Gab). The fediverse creators explicitly made themselves hostile to innovation. You can't expect to be as popular as WordPress when you demand every user to open source their entire stack.

I'm not going to be at a disadvantage sharing code/ideas, because it's the standard within that community and it will benefit everyone equally. Copyleft is is not hostile to innovation, it's the only sustainable path to innovation and was the standard way of developing arts/sciences for millennia before the copyright industry was born and fucked up everything.
