I'd argue that business entities that realize revenue from restrictively licensing intellectual "property" (like VMware does) should bear the burden of the "high costs of employee training and maintaining a sizeable legal department." I would argue that if they don't want those expenses then, perhaps, they should seek revenue from another business model, and just release their software under Libre license terms.

If a corporation is doing this on purpose or refusing to cooperate like sounds to be the case for VMWare here, I have little sympathies for them.
