Commercial open content and not quite getting it

factual.com is a new "open data" site. Here's a line from the TOS:

"You may not sell, resell, redistribute, sublicense, or transfer all
or any portion of the services or data provided to you through Factual
API calls."

Yeah, that's open content all right. (fail.)

Is there anything we can or should do to encourage such organisations
to do it properly?
