Oh damn, I always thought Apache2.0 will protect also the derivative works, but apparently I was wrong:

Any big company which cannot bear the costs of publishing code to github can just calculate how much it would have costed them, then send the code to me and I'll upload it to github for them and only ask for half of the price. Seriously, I'll halve your "cost". Because it is actually free and they are just bullshitting.
