At the end of the day it will all come down to who has the biggest 
wallet that will win.  There will only be an issue if some copyright 
holder gets upset and decides to sue.  The question we need to ask is 
are we protected enough by the license we use to continue using it and 
do the modules that people contribute cause an issue that might harm 
Drupal as a community.
