Someone biulds a thing and puts it on the curb in front of his house with a sign:
Then someone else comes along, takes it, and sells it.
I fail to see how the inventor was taken advantage of. They presumably thought about which license they want to use and specifically chose this one.
Taking without giving is always viewed negatively in social settings.
Maybe "taking advantage of" is wrong but then again, it is a dick move anyway.
With software there would be infinite copies of that free item for everyone to get. So the dick move is to sell it to people who are unaware that they could get it for free.
