On the other hand, we also won't have any chinese clones (legally) that eventually force the original creators to reduce their open contributions.
Therein lies the other issue, unless the creator has millions of dollars to fund lawsuits, if a large company or Chinese company decides to clone it he can do nothing. The only people who will respect the license are individuals and small businesses.
