From a company's perspective, if they want CLAs or if they want to use an anti-open-source license, they do not care about your freedoms. They're protecting revenue streams. They'll often talk about freeloaders, whether it's Amazon building a competing hosted solution, or some startup that found a way to monetize support.
One must always assume a company's primary motivation is revenue. You cannot trust them.

I'm not making a moral statement. Revenues are what pay the salaries of people doing work. But never think that ideology will trump money. It won't.
