The matter here would be one like Fritz Wuehler pointed in another reply
to this thread: licensing. I am not sure every one would enjoy to pay for
a GPLed application they could not really use for their own purpose.
Funding the FSF would be paying for something you could not use freely.
That is far less attractive.
He exactly say “Even better if GPL is nowhere in the equation.”… and I
personally insist on that too (I would not buy a GPL licensed application
whose license states you are not the owner of things you created with
that… the runtime and standard library matters here).
