Too. Effing. Bad. These companies can either figure out how to work with FSF-authored licenses or they can go make their own alternatives. I have no sympathy for them.
Or for devs that make excuses for this attitude. They deserve to be force-pushed onto software like when Apple decided to ship zsh instead of bash because they didn't want GPLv3 in their OS. Or that whole Rails brouhaha last month.
Companies should not be trusted with permissively licensed software. You don't get to play shell games with public access.
