Surely it's more: bad == go away and don't use future improvements to our software anymore please. ??
*If* you think it's bad (Linus doesn't as far as the kernel goes) then isn't it reasonable to exclude 'bad for the community' from the community?
This isn't retroactive - they can continue to use any V2 software they had, they wouldn't be able to use V3 developments.
That seems to me to be a very, very reasonable thing to do (and very much *not* bad == illegal IMHO)
