    They should go in the public domain in a reasonable number of years like they were originally designed to, just like patents. Both served the purpose of protecting commercial use for a limited time to promote innovation. Patents still promotes, copyright stifles due to extending the duration to a ridiculous amount.

      Oh for sure. But I mean this as a more immediate result of trying to subvert existing licenses.
