If you don't give users enough freedom, they will pirate your software until you change your mind. Software licensing is just an alternative deal and only works if it's better than "total freedom but you have to keep quiet".
This is why iTunes worked so well. 99 cents for a song is absolutely worth the price as it serves the role of "anti-FBI raid assurance" for cheap. It's a much worse deal to pay $20 per month to listen to that same song plus $15-$80 per month on Internet access. That's why people pirate music right now.
Don't tell governments what to do either unless you want to be ignored by copyright enforcement. Use MIT or get trampled.
