Great. Let's encourage "trolling". Successes of principled behavior haven't led to such quick adaptation.

No surprise. I think of copyleft as regulation, and many regulations need steep fines for non-compliance to encourage proactive compliance. Copyleft doubly so, since it is a private mechanism that has no publicly funded regulators whose job it is to enforce.

I know Conservancy can't explicitly encourage trolling. But I'm hopeful talking about principled enforcement increases awareness that trolling is a possibility, and many copy McHardy.
