I see this in two lights. It's extremely generous from Microsoft opening up the platform to smaller outfits but at the same time it would seem to be a very convenient way to get young raw tallent hooked on the Microsoft way.
Overall I don't really mind because it's been seen so many times in just technology alone.. if any outfit gets so big and pig headed, people will revolt to the next big fad. Sony walkmans vs Apple iPods is an example.
That aside, there are a great deal of hobby programmers who, frankly, I don't think should be prevented from developing for any console.
