Indeed, sometimes faster than they change their socks.

Read a EULA for a commercial product sometime; especially
one from the evil billionaire's club in Redmond.  Then
compare it to the GPL, for instance.  Even rabid GPL haters
must admit that the GPL is much less vicious and nasty
than anything from most commercial vendors.
