Projects leaching on the work of companies like that, “freeing the code” (which literally just means huge companies will not pay a cent for Linux in the future too) and adding their 2 cents, is not really a big effort.
The same thing with other projects that “became nonfree” and where forked to “stay free”.
If a license says “you can use it for free, but need to share profits over x$” it is free software in any way we should be concerned about it.
