As much as I love Opensource, projects need to see the writing on the wall. Companies WILL profit off of your "free" project, you have two options.

1) Accept it and live with it or 2) Change your licensing. Eg, if used to beyond personal use x y fee will be incurred for usage of the software. Free for personal, small business & non-profit but everyone else you better pay up.

There's a difference between being frustrated with other companies making a profit, other companies not contributing and other companies getting a free ride.
