Not so sure about the anarchism bit. In an anarchy nobody can
assume power (i.e. make it proprietary).
Intellectual property enforcement is based on state power.
Copyleft is a hack of copyright law, which, in essence rely on
state power.
If you can't have an intellectual property enforcement, that
obviously don't prevent someone to do proprietary software. One
do not have to shared his/her source or his/her patches to an
open source project.
