Ugh, Etherpad shoulda been copyleft. Hackpad is a travesty for being so non-transparent that they're just a tweak of Etherpad.

I've only seen HackPad and my impression is it was built upon Etherpad. Someone confirm that? I don't want to sign up a new account just to find out.

That was my point. Hackpad is Etherpad and people should use Etherpad more instead and work to improve it so we have better free software.

Why should it be copyleft? If people want to overpay for acquihire teams that add very little value, licensing doesn't seem like the problem.
