I certainly don't want to force anyone to do anything.  If someone
insists on retaining ownership of code, but is willing to let others
use it, I certainly won't pass it up.  But I wish it were harder to
forget to open source a package.

Why not add a 'license.txt' field to the info.ss for PLaneT packages? 
Submitters already (ought to) go through that list of fields to see
what they want to enter, the mere presence of that field (hopefully
high on the list) would remind people to make such a file.  This has
the added benefit of not actually changing the submission process
(from the submitter's point of view), and whatever script puts
packages on the website can harvest that file and put up a link to it.
