That's why I pay attention to the license when contributing to FOSS.
For MIT, BSD, Apache 2, it's quite easy for a company to hire a handful of active maintainers and starve the original project by redirecting their attention to a closed-source fork. http://hintjens.com/blog:27
GPL, and especially AGPL, are better in this regard.
