I agree it's obvious that they are trying to get money from it. I still think it's valuable to have articles that point this out because it's important for people to realize that something is lost when a for-profit company takes over something previously open. In some very vague way it's like software companies (microsoft) embracing open source. We need to remember it's not altruistic and one way or another the goal is to extract money from society and so it's important to keep a close eye on them, even if they're just doing what you'd expect a company to do
