Such a policy is in place on wikipedia. If you threaten anyone with legal action, you're kicked off (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_legal_threats). I, frankly, applaud the sentiment but i have doubts ISP's will go along.
An incompetent programmer would be likely to _hide_ his incompetence behind the locked doors of an ironclad EULA, non-disclosure agreements and (in particular) a (very) closed source model. Allowing others to view the actual code, seems something for more self-confident and competent programmers.
But hey... M$ fudding it isn't exactly new. They've been playing this card as long as they exist.
Being the leader of a small time band only very few people have ever heard of ("Kleuske & the Bad Boys") and a photographer, using the Creative Commons license to make my/our work available to a wider audience, especially in commons.wikimedia.org i take exception at the false claims of this Content Crusader.
Creative Commons offers me/us a way to distribute my/our work without any bureaucratic hassle whilst retaining a proper copyright to all my works.
Frankly, I find the absurd claim someone is trying to "silence" this clown offensive. The fact that he refuses an open debate on the subject, after making such claims as he did is a sure sign of pure, unadulterated cowardice.
