    You are disallowed from building a commercial product on top of it or tweek/fix it without publishing said changes. There may be systemic reason that prevent that.

      Nope. You can build proprietary code on top of it, as long as you don’t distribute it. A company can create all its internal tools with copyleft code, and it would all be kosher. If they start sending that code elsewhere, then the license kicks in.

      That still doesn’t prevent a company from having the option to use the code commercially. Whether they actually want to do it or not is a separate issue.
