Did the BSDs do it wrong, too? Apple uses a lot of FreeBSD software that they turn around and sell for profit. How about PostgreSQL, didn't Amazon fork that as well? My point is, there's nothing wrong with forks nor companies forking if the license allows for it. It's up to the developers to choose an appropriate license to not be forked/ripped off, if they so desire.

I personally am against modern day corporate America, but I can't blame them for this. The software is given away free/libre/gratis to be forked by whomever.

Perhaps to combat this, one should choose a non "Open Source(TM)" license, but a source availbe license. E.g https://mariadb.com/bsl11/ (not my personal favorite, just an example).

Also, I definitely agree with/do the same:
