Correlation between what? Between affluence and lack of respect for licenses? A weak one at best. My experience is that there are sleazeballs from all backgrounds, and good people too.
I wouldn't enforce my license against a less affluent party either.
My experience is that I can spend my life fighting the good fight, or having fun. I'd rather have fun. Perhaps that's selfish of me -- Harvard will keep stealing -- but having taken both routes, dealing with crooks is a lot of stress and pain.
Building stuff and dealing with honest people is fun.
I'm excited about the Free Software Conservancy's copyright assignment. It feels like a V0, and I'm not ready to send my code over to them quite yet, but having someone else do the fighting on my behalf (and collect any gains too) would let me focus on having fun, while going after bad players: https://sfconservancy.org/assignment/
Come to think of it, it's an approach you might consider. Depending on your goals, they might be a good fit.
