Institutions with monopoly on violence or companies that they deal with don't care whether software is released as MIT or AGPL, they just take it and build on it. (Maybe that's exactly what you mean though, I'm not sure.)

Hehe yeah I guess that's what I meant. Just making a statement on how software has become I guess, and maybe a bit about how highly permissive licenses might have unintended consequences.

The open source spirit is one of the shining jewels of the human race, but it really sucks that I don't think any of those "You aren't allowed to use my code to make the world a worse place" clauses would actually hold up. =\
