They won't. They deliberately made it permissive. How else are manufacturers like John Deere going to withhold the source from the farmers? Can't have them undoing those software locks, now!

It's not a heavy burden at all. Releasing source code is quick and easy. Github will host it for you for free. The issue isn't the burden. The issue is that they don't want to comply with the license. Let's cut the crap.
