If RIOT is BSD'ed, for *me* personally time spent on it is not fun time I

Work others can (and will) sell under their terms.
I totally don't get this point. How do more possibilities to work with RIOT
for *others*, take fun away from *you*?
I'm a software developer. I code for fun and for money.
I do fun work for free on my terms. My terms don't necessarily include
other people selling my work without even having to tell me about it.
As the man earning a shit load of money from one of these evil companies,
using a proprietary smart phone, and buying Facebook goggles, working on
RIOT for me is a very expensive hobby.
How so? RIOT is for free.
My time is not.
BSDing turns it into work I do for other companies, for free. I will
probably not contribute much this way, unless I become one of the companies
taking RIOT and selling it somehow.
That would be very sad.
No need to get emotional, yet.
