But I want to be able to require that people who redistribute my code also provide the source.


Most of the time, GPL code is stolen without the person who wrote it even being aware. And most of the time they become aware of it, there isn't a whole lot they can do to stop it.


Please define stolen here? I highly doubt that most GPL code is 'stolen' according to the actual terms laid out in the GPL.
