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.
