I agree with you by the way, but for MIT or Apache licenses, I think even if the company goes full commercial or terminates at some point, they gave us enough in the first place to warrant some trust and help. For the ‘we are open but clearly using that fact for marketing’ licenses, I indeed refuse to use that software and definitely cannot contribute to it (but no one will anyway that doesn’t work there) as you cannot make a meaningful fork anyway in case it goes bad.
