But I thought the idea of open source was to benefit from
the massive amount of open source software; ie no application
is likely to have ANY "sole copyright holder."

I'm starting to see similarities between open source advocates
and the RIAA and similar organizations that they hold as ultimate
evils; it's all about restricting the users from using the
"intellectual property" in ways that the "owner" disapproves of.
(you just have to decide whether an intermediate level "programmer"
is a "user" or not.) (Hmm.  GPL == DRM?  Perhaps GPL3 will
disallow itself!)
