While you seem to believe this to be a serious issue -- and it may be
-- but the Marketplace is fairly lax about these kinds of things. It
does seem that they would want some kind of facility for handling this
stuff, but as far as I've seen, the market tends to be fairly hands
off, and while you're allowed to publish apps in it, you don't really
get much help beyond that. (This doesn't seem to be too much
different from any other app marketplace either..)
I'm not sure how many apps form the foundation of "multi-million
dollar companies," but I sure can't think of many, and I would suspect
that in the cases where this does happen, the companies handle it
without help from the market..
