Yes, but at the very least, Amazon would need to contribute their code back, so it's not a complete loss.

That is incorrect, the FSF licenses would require Amazon contribute code forward to their users, not back to the project.

Also, Amazon were already contributing code back when these companies changed their licenses, the companies don't care about code contributions, just money.

Those greedy software companies only care about money, unlike the gracious Amazon that's all about code contributions... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Amazon
