There definitely some hypocrisy, but it might work differently in the law.

As devs, we might claim that 'code is the law' but my guess is that the law does not care. That is, one cannot overwrite property laws by a few lines of code.

From a comment:

I think I disagree, at least to an extent. They are leveraging an open source tool. They made their business built around that tool.

And as for the innocent users--this is such a small impact to users that I am not to worried.
