Nope. The only claim I am making is that developing software and making 
it available under the GPL can and does provide an investment in someone 
else's business, but is not compensated. People do that voluntarily and 
occasionally there are circumstances where they gain some advantage by 
doing so. However, I think the situation would be more just if authors 
were compensated in some manner for what they make available to someone 
who has a for-profit use for it.
