Is it really bait and switch if the company has a contributor/committer license agreement in place? Having that license made it clear the company want to reserve the right to change the license, including going to closed source if they decide to. Plus, you made it sounds like an open source project has a moral obligation to the companies that uses it for free. That seems backwards.
