I whole-heartedly support the GPL philosophy. Even though it has gone
out of vouge. New information is built on and from existing information.
The speed that information evolves in complexity and function is
directly related how available it is. Retardation of information flows
decreases the efficiency and efficacity of human knowledge.

GPL does not forbid commercial use, providing source is made available.

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely  exercised for the good of its victims  
 may be the most  oppressive.  It may be better to live under  robber barons  
 than  under  omnipotent  moral busybodies,  The robber baron's  cruelty may  
 sometimes sleep,  his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who  
 torment us for own good  will torment us  without end,  for they do so with 
 the approval of their own conscience."    -   C.S. Lewis, _God in the Dock_
