Upon further reading, this may not be the case in this instance, but I dunno.
Although, if there isn't a license that does this, I think there should be. I also swear there was. But I'm too lazy to look it up.
Ultimately, the idea would be that if you're putting in the effort to make software open source, it's because you typically believe in the concept of open source software and want to perpetuate it. Why would you want other companies using your software if they don't have the same values and belief in the concept of open source?
If Android were licensed like this the world would be a better place. While Android is open source, the version of Android that comes in your phone is not. This means that the manufacturer can sneak any shit in there that they want. If it were licensed like this, there would be transparency.
