+%A whole set of licenses have been written to use for this purpose.  %

+%Briefly, strong copyleft licenses do not allow for software to be modified or enhancements without

+%sharing those enhancements under the same licenses.  %

+%These ``viral'' licenses are meant to force companies and individuals who would otherwise not open

+%source to share their code.  %

+%The strongest copyleft licenses do not even allow others to link against the licensed software

+%without themselves being copyleft.  %

+%This strategy has been moderately successful, but is becoming less popular.  % TODO: cite

+%Open source licenses are less opinionated, merely granting users the right to copy, modify,

+%distribute, and publish code without restriction except perhaps credit to the source.  %
