This kind of thing has been happening for a while. It is a natural 
consequence of open licenses. Wikipedia has been re-packaged and sold 
many times

While I can't find an example, popular open source software has fallen 
prey from time to time, being repackaged and sold to uninformed 
consumers who don't realize there are cost-free versions available.

I would argue this new world requires more of the consumer. Be savvy. Do 
a little google research. There's no going back to simpler times, the 
complexity is here to stay.
