Economic Disaster ? (Score 1)

Abolishing copyrights would have a *very*
negative affect on the GPL cause as a whole.
If a companies IP rights arent guarded by law,
why would they release their proprietary code
under any license which allows possible competitors
to "steal" their ideas and start making money off
them ? Its all about protecting income. My
opinion is that this would drive companies to go
to even greater lengths to protect their investment
in their code, not open-source it.
