In fact, you could even say that eclectic ownership makes it easier and more effective, because anyone with an interest can pursue action if they decide that's the right course.

Not all contributors will have the same approach to license enforcement; there's such differing views amongst the kernel community (as an example) you could imagine had someone like Linus been in control of the copyright there would have been much less in the way of enforcement.
