Our customers all have agreements that protect them, and next year we'll be pushing on the 3rd party licensing model which will also allow people to distribute free Fabric tools if they choose to. If someone wanted to build a full-on DCC then we'd have a license agreement that would protect them as well.
There are more approaches to this than just 'open source all the things!'.
