When I release a project, I do it for one of two reasons... either to
make money or just to contribute something. If I want to contribute
something, I'm happy if it's used, no matter how people choose to use
it. Otherwise, I don't release source. That's why I never release
anything as GPL--it smells too much like a legal trap designed to make
it look like generosity when it isn't. LGPL and MPL aren't so bad,
although I don't use them myself.

Conspiracy theorists mistakenly assume others think before acting.
