100% this. Way too many developers and companies release projects under licenses that allow for others to use it, then complain that they're using as it allowed by the license.

If you don't want people to use your product to build their own services without paying things back, use the AGPL rather than the GPL. If you don't want people to compete with you altogether or redistribute your work, don't use an open source license.

It's honestly kinda amusing that Matt and Automattic are behaving this way, given how many third party WordPress plugin and theme developers make the exact same mistake.
