I've sometimes wondered if it would be possible to have a voluntary organisation funded by developers and other tech folks whose sole purpose is to fight legal battles against companies and other organisations looking to bully contributors on dodgy legal grounds. I'm sure a lot of these legal threats would go away very quickly if the possibility of a large scale legal battle was on the horizon every single time. Or at least, they'd be a lot more willing to settle quickly if their opponent was fairly evenly matched resources wise.
