sure, but for me the problem with GPL looks like this:

If I want to create a very good program I need to employee some=20
programmers so I have costs. Of course I want to get the money back, so=20
I want to sell the program many times to get enough money (ok I want to=20
sell the licence or whatever, I had $200000 of costs and I sell the=20
program for $200 per copy, so I have to sell at least 1000 copies to=20
earn 0 on that). If I sell the program on the GPL licence client can=20
sell the program cheaper than me many many times, so how can I get my=20
money back (and how can I earn on the program).
