    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.

      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.

      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.
