@lxo your first sentence describes a false analogy. You cannot compare physical harm with a weapon and access to a tool in general. One reason is that the prohibition on harming someone applies equally to all member of society at all times, while copyleft licenses do not. One does not need to receive a knife in order to be given the admonition not to do harm. However copyleft restrictions apply only in the case of distribution of compiled software.
