This pledge vaguely reminds me of the GNU GPL, a license that developers put on their open-source software if they prefer their software, and all its derivatives, doesn’t “eat at tables” (get distributed) within non-open-source software. So it’s trying to spread open-source software as much as possible, which seems like a goal similar to the abolishing all IP law mentioned by @Breck Yunits in a sibling comment.
I wonder how universal and effective this “viral” approach to spreading unconventional norms is.
