"what we really need is a social change: we need to convince indie developers  
to take the extra step of releasing their source code and applying a  
free/libre software license"

Herein lies the problem. It's not just a case of releasing source - applying  
a license like the GPL, especially in the case of downloaded software removes  
the possibility of getting rich from sales of the game. Freedoms 2 and 3 mean  
that anyone can legally obtain a copy of a game without paying for it. So the  
problem isn't that developers fear losing control of their "art", but that  
they want to be paid for it.
