Because IP laws are ridiculous, and many companies feel they must restrict any usage without permission. In some cases, not protecting your IP when someone else uses it means you lose the right to do so in the future, though I don't think this is the case with copyright.

Or they may be upset at the prospect of someone making money using their IP without them getting a cut.
