And, instances like this is why some of us use licenses like BSD, CC-BY, and so on. It's not an abuse to do this, it is allowed by the license, and we choose licenses based on how we want our work to be used. To put some context on this, I work for companies that don't release source. One of those 'companies' was the U.S. Government, and sorry, but you can't release classified work (plenty of other Government code is open, and I mailed plenty of CDs in the day). I'd rather they use my work and remain closed source, than not use my work, or use it without my knowledge. As it is, they can legally and ethically use my work, then can file problem reports, push fixes if they want, and otherwise participate. It's not a bad thing; it's a choice.
