I admire that you can use an analogy you clearly realise is flawed...

So far, laws against murder etc. have only mildly cramped my
activities.  I suspect multiple licences and restrictions on code
reuse would be more of an impediment.

This sounds like a distinction that would make it hard for me to get
help from your code, despite your intentions.

Without the details its hard to judge, but if the problem could not be
resolved with a conversation, I suspect a license change would not
have really made a difference either.
