Be careful.
These companies aren't trying to do something good for open source software. They are trying to protect their own business models. IMO they have the right to develop and release software under whatever license they want.
But as a user of that software, make sure you understand: if they decide your use of their software has potential revenue that they want, they are going to adjust the license to try to force you to pay up.
That is, their software is only as open as is currently convenient for their business objectives. Really not "partially open" at all.
