something needs to be done about GPL parasites hiding "in the cloud".
Companies and individuals that disregard the specifics of the licenses they are bound by are demonstrating a general lack of care and attention. We already have a solution to this problem (which is ironic given the license in question): the free market. As consumers become aware of the alternatives, they'll move towards companies and products that are more open.
