You are completely ignoring the fact that they agreed to the amendment.
Amazon at some point was offering 20%
Amazon then wrote to them and said "what about 0%"
They said, no, what about 20%?
Amazon said, no, it's 0%
THEY AGREED.

They are likely grateful that people are using their software rather than the superior (and free) Microsoft Security Essentials. (Yes, MS makes a piece of software that is superior in virtually every way to its competition. Hard to believe, but it's true.)

The Linux kernel uses something called kernel shared memory (KSM) to achieve this with it's virtualization technology. LWN has a great article on it:
Is the reverse possible? I.e. explicit content only??!!
Aside from the obvious point-of-view that this is almost theft, doesn't this mean the University can afford to invest in more research and therefore invent more cool technologies?
