Well, I can guarantee you that people making money with hashcat has never been a concern for atom. He stated at several occasions that he is perfectly fine with people making money with hashcat and there is absolutely no limitation of such actions in the EULA. There isn't actually much that hashcat's EULA asks from its users, but these people did not ignore the EULA once, but even multiple times. It can't be this hard to respect a coder's work, can it?
Besides, cracking SL3 is no devil's work. It's a single iteration of salted SHA1 that can be done by every hash cracking tool out there. Well, except hashcat. (I think/hope atom implemented some SL3-blocker) All these SL3 people are free to use other tools.
