Just to make sure, commercial applications can very well be covered
by the GPL, the LGPL, or the GMGPL, or whatever license,
if the paying customer agrees. Some do pay for GPLed software,
and not every commercial entity can be shown to be a free rider,
as I guess you are implying here as if it were a matter of course.
Another way of using GPLed software in heavily commercial
applications is running profitable in house server software.
