Of course it doesn. Why isn't it plainly obvious to you that the GPL
ensures that any additional work done must also be GPL. So if I make a
library and you add more things to it I can use that too. If you use the
GMGPL then you must be aware that other may use your work to make a
close sourced tool and charge a lot of money for it and you won't get a
penny and neither any software.

Nothing has value unless there is a market for it.

Well say that this business fixed X bugs in the software, the author can
thus take this version and continue his work on that.

Well if you do other kind of work there are always somebody who earns
money from it. Say you collect a lot of used clothes to send to a
country in need. The company you send it with will charge you money for
the shipment.
