Not to put too fine a point on it, but I believe, as Manoj has said, while
you can't retroactively license a work, you CAN relicense a work. Ergo,
they could switch to entirely commercial licensing when they got enough
market share and `newbie share' to not worry about the people they'd run
off doing it.
