I'm not going to impose stupid distribution terms on my users or force them to copy files around. It's dumb. If I'm making the code available to the public then just let the public have it. This post looks like it was written by an attorney not someone that cares about sharing ideas open and freely.

Of course it was written by attorneys. Do you know how FSF, DFSG and OSD even began? They found a legal solution to the problem of sharing code while guaranteeing certain rights for the user who use the code! The open source licenses are written by attorneys too.
You are free to distribute under whatever terms you want but your code does not become open source just because it is shared with the public. Some countries do not even recognise "public domain". In such countries it becomes necessary to attach a valid open source license to your code. That's why the various open source licenses are drafted by attorneys to ensure they can provide appropriate rights to the user of the code.
