The reason for that is because if we would support this resolution then we would essentially make a community made apps, FOSS, into a proprietary software and no one wants that. Protection and establishing a copyright laws for FOSS is not needed because it was never endangered or needed. It's what FOSS is about. It's a flexible, community maintained, free for the most part, open source which means that it can be forked. Pushing FOSS into the predatory capitalist market will not only endangere FOSS but actively ruin it for everyone so it's the best to keep it out of the hands of capitalist market and keep it in the hands of the community where it truly belongs.
