Am I the only one that doesn't over-value their own contributions? So many copy-left proponents always bemoan giving your work away. While that may hold some water on some large efforts, in general, who cares if you give away bits of your work? Who cares if you sign it away? Don't get hung up on your personal pride like your contribution is the greatest thing ever, feel free to share and share alike even on projects with caveats to your sharing, even if that means you are guilted by the forced-freedom side of the community. Or don't...but no need to pretend like others are bad for doing so.
