For argument’s sake, at least, I don’t consider anything suggested here as definitively “over-the-top”. It may seem (or be) unrealistic in practice (for reasons I don’t know), but the suggestion is far from unconscionable— it may, in fact, be the lowest cost solution to what could cost mega-corps billions in current (and potential future) fines/liabilities. To the extent it sounds like an exaggeration, I think that embodies the point of the comment— there are some (almost unreconcilable) concerns that impact the interplay of corporations and open source development.
