They only need to do so if they distribute. There's lots of Apache2
projects that have a very large amount of contribution, so maybe this would
happen, but I doubt it. Not having to maintain your own fork is a really
strong motivator for most companies.
This is true.
I guess it’s just a result of the sort of mixture of two arguments: whether to upgrade to
v3, and whether to change to AGPL. In the latter, argument, even then companies are not
required to give back, but one could argue that they are almost forced to since they must
offer source code to all end-users anyway.
