Why would a developer NOT want to copyright a software program they took the time to develop?
It is not up to the developer; copyright is automatic. The only question is whether the developer owns the copyright or someone else does (i.e., an employer or a client in an independent contracting relationship). Whether a developer wants to enforce his or her copyright is a personal choice, and may come down to various circumstances regarding the relationship with a prospective employer or other clients. If you're an independent contractor in the USA, you need to read up on the definition of "works made for hire" and when (or if) the client owns the copyright, based upon your written agreements.
