Unfortunately for you, the court does not agree with you:

    The choice to exact consideration in the form of compliance
    with the open source requirements of disclosure and explanation
    of changes, rather than as a dollar-denominated fee, is entitled
    to no less legal recognition. Indeed, because a calculation of
    damages is inherently speculative, these types of license
    restrictions might well be rendered meaningless absent the
    ability to enforce through injunctive relief.
