I suggest them to learn it and deal with it. Quitting software
development is also an option (and in the case of certain programming
languages it's a preferred one), though, there's much more so called
"software developers" that the world really needs anyway.
Relinquishing control is also an option, but there will be consequences.
For instance, that link that tomas had provided. Or all those recent
stories about Github and complying with DMCA.
I'm not saying that the consequences will be there immediately (because
it's never *that* easy), but certainly they will be hard (or impossible)
to anticipate.
