    I have no clue, but I wouldn't worry about it too much.  Anyone can
    copy our work, that's the point of the license (though they have to be
    careful of the GPL'd portion of the base system).  Whether someone would
    be able to make a real business out of it, e.g. by integrating other 
    things and/or targeting a particular type of customer... well, that's
    another question entirely.
