All licenses with a copyleft, even with the weakest, force developers into compliance (but never users). A developer has to find out in all cases, whether he or she could satisfy the copyleft clause and - if applicable - in what way she or he can do it. A problem as well is, that there are too many free software licenses. Nevertheless I'm a "fan boy" of a powerful copyleft. Freedom is necessarily stressful. Kind regards Michael
