outlaw55, I am not sure exactly what you mean by buying a partial liscence to an uncopyrighted work. All work is copyrighted from the get go (atleast under US law). You can make a public liscence that makes it so that anyone can use it. There is also something called fair-use that would be good to brush up on. Other than that I am not exactly sure how to answer your question. I think though that you are thinking of trademarks.
JAppi, the real answer to the problem would be to make each screener unique (which they won't do because they are too lazy). After that you know exactly where it was leaked from. If I remember right Id software does this to their software when they give it to another company to test equipment on. However, that doesn't change the fact that the distribution of said screener is still illegal and hurts their business.
