Perhaps you are only considering one side of the equation. As a 
publisher, it is desirable, not annoying, that producers of derivative 
works are required to distribute the source for their derivative under 
terms that allow me to reproduce their contribution in my next edition. 
The medium for exchange is irrelevant, as everyone accepts the internet.
