There is a strong fascistic tendency to push for conformity in licensing 
in the open source arena at a time when licensing is a far from settled 
art that needs more experiments not fewer.

I experience such pressures, and they succeed in forcing me to use 
licenses I know are inferior to what I want to write.

The licensing fascists use market leveraging to achieve their ignorant 
conformist ends.
