    And that's why I'm still hoping for Richard Fontana to finish his Copyleft-Next license someday. Depending on documents made by such a contrarian as the sole legal and ethical source of justification for copyleft is dangerous, to say the least.

    Legal reforms are unlikely, but there have been some voluntary efforts.

    Creative Commons used to have a "Founders' Copyright" [0] program that emulates the original U.S Copyright system. You enter a contract and delegate your copyright to CC, CC adds your work to a maintained list. After 14 years (or 28 years if renewed), CC releases the rights of your work for unrestricted uses. Tim O'Reilly was a prominent supporter, some O'Reilly books was published under this program. Unfortunately, this program is no longer active.

    The Copyleft Next License also includes a Sunset Clause: It's a strong copyleft license, but 20 years after the initial publication of a work, the copyleft requirements no longer applies, it automatically degenerate to a MIT-style license. I like the idea - if nobody cares about a long obsolete version of a copylefted program, you may as well to maximize its remaining value by allowing unlimited uses. Perhaps not suitable for all programs, but has many suitable applications.

    Unfortunately, a general license suitable for all works don't exist yet. But it should be easy to write one, for example...

    Copyright (2021) J. Random. All rights reserved. A irrevocable License is granted hereby: 20 years after the initial publication of the work, you may reuse the work in accordance to the CC-0 license.

    Before the License is effective, you may not use, distribute or modify the work without the explicit permission from the author.
