Let me just chime in to give my 2 cents; I quote Micheal 100%; if we want

just to throw in a different argument: there's also the concept of
dual-licensing[1,2] to accomodate both the F/OSS users as well as the
commercial users...
I'm a big fan of dual-licensing. It's an underutilized tactic for
overcoming the competing forces of commercial success and F/OSS success.
Moreover, in my experience, those companies which refuse to have
anything to do with the GPL tend to be more than willing to pay for a
corporate license. Just remember: money isn't evil, it's proprietarism
that's evil.
