Perhaps you haven't read what the CAFC wrote. Here is a fragment.
Through this controlled spread of information, the copyright holder
gains creative collaborators to the open source project; by requiring
that changes made by downstream users be visible to the copyright
holder and others, the copyright holder learns about the uses for his
software and gains others' knowledge that can be used to advance
future software releases.
Please read the whole thing -- it's online at
