This definitely isn't ideal (I'm a big GPL fan) but honestly, as long as it still allows copying, modification, and redistribution for non-commercial purposes (which it does) this doesn't concern me that much. I'm not too worried about the potential prospects of other businesses that might want to base their work off of this business's work as long as the community would still be able to create forks and derivative versions. It certainly isn't the ideal of free software that I prefer everything to adhere to, but it's acceptable to me at least. It's sort of as I say elsewhere, a CC-BY-SA-NC type deal.
