They're not unscrupulous. They're using the software as it is licenced, which is the software's declaration of how it is allowed to be used.

The problem lies with OSS, not with people using it.

The problem lies with people expecting to apply non-FOSS monetization strategies to FOSS.

Particularly with corporate charity (aka "permissive") licenses. If you want the source to stay open for users further down the chain, use a license that requires that.
