Well, consider how our voting priorities would change if billionaires had less of an impact on elections? Would we be where we are today if, for example, Musk couldn't spend over a quarter billion dollars influencing the 2024 election?

What a terrible take. This is the kind of "social pressure" I was talking about. Open source licensing isn't a party, it's a business decision you make as a participant in the intellectual property economy. If you make a
