We're seeing now constant attacks on companies and developers that want some way to protect what they create from megacorps that use their creations without giving anything back and essentially cutting them off from any way of making money while working on the software they've poured their time and heart into.
Oh no! GigaTechCorp X will have a drop of income from 50 billion to only 49 because they need to buy the commercial licenses and actually pay for what they use! The horror!
Most probably these troll articles and "opinion pieces" will only increase as the moochers will see they cannot take advantage out off people's good will anymore. The original GPL was created long before "the Cloud" and SaaS was a thing to consider and these are simply attempts to make them comply with the original idea. In general if you're making money with OSS you should pay for it in some way or contribute, enough with the leeching.
