I think a more moderate but still quite effective solution would be to
require all contributors to choose a CC license.  The flexibility of the
CC licensing would allow everyone to distribute work according to their
own needs/ desires.

Additionally, it would get us all in the habit of choosing a license for
the work we release.  Explicitly allowing/disallowing sharing,
sampling, re-release, etc-- is so much better than simply posting for download.
