i think the bigger question is why we rely on honor systems when history proves that corporations don't have any.

I think copyleft was just something too clever not to try for Richard Stallman. But yeah, corporation are doing anything they can to get around it.

i didn't know that he was behind it; the licensing details are confusing to me as all legalese is.

Richard Stallman very likes recursions. This is why GNU ( something he named ) is a recursive acronym. And GPL ( something he came up with ) is a recursive license.
