Personally, again I fail to see the point of releasing open source if you
dont want *everyone* to benefit. Otherwise just dont do it.

Even if they GPL it. It is *their* code. They can do whatever they want
with it. And license it how they see fit. But cutting off youre nose to
spite your face and using the GPL is not how I obviously like to see code
open sourced. But of course it is their choice.
