But “[o]f course it can be used [by anyone else] in [their] commercial apps [too].
[Because its source will be freely available] it will be under GPL [for anyone to fork].
But [they] can still sell it [to compete with you directly], and [they] sell support to it [to compete with you directly].”
Hence why Alex was correctly indicating that GPL Community Edition forestalls most practical forms of commercial business activity by entirely prohibiting AdaCore-esque dual licensing (as well as prohibiting closed source) due to lack of the Runtime License Exception.
