Repeat after me: "We can abolish copyright law if we just also mandate
source release for published works and prohibit DRM"

As soon as we go into hypothetical copyright abolition, it's perfectly
reasonable to describe simply the other legal changes needed to protect
software freedom (and other freedoms!). Please don't stop the thought
process where you come out in defense of copyright law just to protect
copyleft.
