Obviously you would need a complete overhaul of the system.
That's why I'm not in favor of completely abolishing copyright. It should protect for a much shorter time, like 10 years, though. For example, companies would be free to use a ten years old Linux version (3.10 would be the newest affected version) and do whatever they want with it, but for newer ones the GPL protections would still apply.
I'm more radical, I'm for removing copyright and forced open source.
