This is just pointless drama. The fact is the code was open sourced under Apache or MIT and that's a great thing for everyone.

You're free to fork the code, remove all the AWS code and build your own community around it without ever caring about Amazon.

For what it's worth, as a former Amazonian who wanted to release games, the games clause did prevent me from attempting to create a commercial game, but it didn't stop me from working on games for fun.

Why? It looks like an open contract for me, because price is an essential part of the contract. A contract with 0 price for all future labor is just slavery. Slavery is forbidden by law. Thus, you can make a game and then ask for reasonable compensation for your labor, e.g. $1000 per line of code.

Since you're not forced to contribute the changes back to their repo, or even tell anyone that you made any changes, the slavery metaphor makes no sense to me.
