If you release it as proprietary, you have a license that says "You may not copy this program. Unauthorized copying will result in law suits". If someone get a copy of that program, how are they not restricted in their freedom to read, run, modify and share the program running on their computers?

As a developer, I do not wish to be a contributor software under such licenses. I will not support you with money or code. The only deal that I would accept is if we abolish copyright altogether, as then the restrictive license you want to use is void and null.
