Overall, I'll take a world without either copyright or copyleft over a world that has copyright and thus supports copyleft. Net win, even if we can't enforce source code access as easily. Among other things, a lack of copyright completely dismantles the proprietary software model, and if you can't sell licenses to proprietary software then you don't have as strong of an incentive to keep the source code proprietary.
