> Community-developed software kinda runs on a stone soup model That's a nice idea, and many people do operate that way, but in no way is it required, enforced or the norm. Most people use OSS without ever contributing back. They find what solves a problem they have and they use it. They can do this because the explicit license allows them to do it. You might have had the intention of 'share and share alike' but the explicit permissions say otherwise. > It doesn't stop you from being miffed if you figure out that there's a restaurant in town that's coming, dropping off a bit of mirepoix, hauling off a cauldron's worth and selling it the next town over. It makes your anger over it occurring irrational.
