MODERATORS
Problem is, they should realise this only creates a gap for a competitor or even worse (from the companies' perspective) a viable open source project that they'll never be able to compete on price with.
Their solution is to buy them in most cases. It's gets hard to turn down $100M.
Fork that.
If the licence is already open source then they can't do shit. Unfortunately, they have other methods of discouraging programmers from working on the project, but ultimately open source will prevail.
