By the way, it would also kill proprietary software as a concept. Source code leak? It's no longer a crime to use it. We'd never have to read licensing nonsense ever again.
Corporations R&D is great at one thing, making things cheaper to produce and thus more widely available. And that's wonderful. But actually we want corporations to steal that tech from each other because then the consumer benefits the most.

Open licenses are not the same as abolishing copyright.

Their weight is irrelevant. They would carry pretty much as much meaning in the complete absence of copyright.
In the world of sensible defaults they wouldn't need to exist at all.

I think we're having different conversations. The only thing I'm talking about is whether terms can be legally enforced without copyright.
I'm not sure what you're getting at, but it seems to be something like "Permissive licensing is basically like public domain." I don't agree with that line of thinking because of the attribution requirement in permissive licenses, but if that's what you're getting at, I get what you mean.
