The point is what do creators want to get out of their open source project. If it is the opportunity to sell, they can make it source available. If they don't want money, having open source license is better as it could mean more contributions.

Instead they forked his project, without even sufficient attribution, and now he has to do even more work to differentiate his original project from their derivative. So the point is that we need another license that does gives open source rights to individuals, yet does not permit corporations to take everything and give nothing.
