Now Google, Microsoft and Oracle can go ahead and copy little startup's APIs, or even Stripe? Using Stripe? You're literally one-click away from our new Google Payments? Just change this URL, and you're good? I'm not as keen about the outcome as others. It's good for open source in a way but I'm wary of big cos just wiping out smaller one's. Also - does anyone with insight have something to say about open source APIs being copied, to get around copyleft? Could GPL'd software now be 're-implemented' without concern?
