I think you would see many similar scenarios. They are trying hard to extinguish Google Chrome on Windows too. That's your embrace, extend and extinguish. It's only practical from business perspective to extinguish competitors. Imo, when their open source software have monopoly they would update license slowly. Let's face it, even if you fork the code afterwards there wouldn't be users and contributors to maintain it unless it's revolutionary. You could take example from Cloud9 IDE, BitTorrent etc.
