Isn't this what GPLv3 is suppose to prevent ? Commercial Entities seems to hate it, there must be a reason, probably because they cannot 'cheat' with it.

[darkpuma]

IANAL but as I understand it, GPLv3 prevents "tivoization" and AGPLv3 prevents running modified services without releasing the source code. Corporations particularly hate AGPLv3.

[appleflaxen]

what's the difference? unmodified vs. modified code?

[oytis]

Depends. Some commercial entities deliberately choose GPLv3 to sell unrestricted version in addition to distributing the GPLed one for free.

No, that would be AGPL, and freeloaders hate it.
