The point is that if I choose to give away my creative work product freely, under the proposed law I am guilty of unfair competition with those who make a profit from similar things.
Is copyright an inalienable right, so that I cannot give it away? Well, then I answer, if it is inalienable, then your authors, programmers, artists, inventors and musicians, who sold you publishers their rights, similarly own them inalienably. That sword cuts both ways.
If I cannot give away my property, I do not own it. Most of what I do in the open source world, I do out of a sense of social obligation. Trying to outlaw charity is depraved.
