Just think how many problems like this could be solved if someone went and invented some sort of free software licensing system, and everyone adopted it...
Having worked at companies in/dedicated to/related to IT ranging from 60 employees to over 7,000 employees, I just have to firmly say that the size of the company is completely irrelevant in what sort of environment you're getting.
I've been at a 'big' company with 6k employees that was extremely casual--jeans, t-shirts, even for senior management. I've been at a 60 man outfit that actually had a mandatory shirt and tie requirement for people who did IT drudge work. They even sent someone HOME one day for not being up to dress code snuff. I kid you not. The point is that the size doesn't matter; only the desired tone and ideals pushed down from management matter.
In other words, if you work for dick heads, you'll have a shitty, miserable atmosphere. Work for nice and caring people, you'll have a nice, caring, and happy atmosphere. In twelves years of IT employment, that's the most important lesson I've learned: dickheadism is bad.
It's extra funny as people are now salting more slyly references to Colbert, elephants, and truthiness in scores of articles, I saw tons being cleaned. But just as many are likely getting through based on simple probability and volume.
They'll be cleaning Stephen off of WP for months.
So what if Google just delists them? Can they still complain? Because, y'know, if they were prickish enough about my search engine and *I* owned Google...
Buh bye, have fun on Yahoo and MSN.
There isn't much you can do when a few cops come into the classroom and tell everyone to put their phones on the desk and get out.
Uh, say no? Something like this, a carpet bomb search, is ILLEGAL.

Yes, because releasing code under something like the GFDL is obviously a release of your own rights to profit off your code.

Yes, if you're legally entitled to in your city of jurisdiction, go right ahead. Duh.

It's only a matter of time.
