    Maybe I’m missing something; I thought the issue here was that they “aren’t” making their source code available. Just modifications to the original code that can be supplied back to the original source. That doesn’t cover all derivative work though.

      They’re still sharing the source code.

      What they’re doing is requiring companies to sign supplementary contracts that say “we’re not restricting your rights granted by the GPL but we will punish you if you exercise them”, which is pretty clearly not what open source is about.
