Many developers feel that is exactly why they won't develop under the xBSD license. Why give something to a corporation that can afford to give back something, and have them give nothing.
After all, if they are capable of making "exponential improvements" to software, why not just do it all themselves? Or pay to license it from other proprietary software developers?
They believe that proprietary ownership is best, and that software should be paid for, so let them put their money where their mouth is and pay for it!
They are just hypocrits. They like the xBSD license because it allows them to get all the benefits with no downside.
In society we call that type of person or organization a parasite.
