Frankly, I don't see why anyone has the grounds to call that wrong. These
'Compatible' licenses deliberately allow this sort of appropriation. If
people didn't want that to happen, they should have used Copyleft.

Exactly.

If they didn't want people to place additional restrictions on their software then it's obvious that using a Apache or BSD license would of been a bad choice.

But Apache license is specificly choosen because it allows things like that.
