Deterrence.
First offense could be excused as "blazing a trail and burning down the forest by accident".
But now they have a direct business contract with bigger companies that can lawyer up way better than open source foundations that live on donations and goodwill of code contributors.
Imagine they make a huge deal with Sony or Dell and either company can prove their "secure" enterprise plan was used for corporate espionage.
The legal and reputation repercussion could sink even a fortune 100 company
