There's certainly enough power in the tools we provide for anyone to roll something "enterprise" based upon our work. Or for any other purpose, including binary-only. Much in the same way as there are numerous distros that ARE Debian -- derived from and cooperative with, but not separate from. People could always try to fork, too, but many of us know how well that went for people who have tried...
