The end of what?  If I write code, it is mine.  I can license it how I see
fit.  Period.  Unless MS wins a radical change in copyright laws and
constitutional free speech, I don't see what can be done to stop open
source licenses.

Am I not seeing a "spear" that legislators can easily use to "poke holes"
in open source licenses?
