I agree somewhat with the sentiment of the first half of your reply. Though I don't think that contradicts what I said. A permissive license may not be the best decision right now because you're exceedingly likely to be taken advantage of, especially as LLM scrapers trawl the web for any scrap of code they possibly can. But I still think it is what we should be striving toward, revolution included.

As for the latter half, hmm no I think I can blame them for it actually. Obviously the system (see: capitalism) is the root cause but we don't need to pretend that bad actors don't carry any blame for their actions.
