The GPL discourages* businesses from producing software -- there's no
good way to recoup costs.  Third-party vendors can, will, and do
undercut your training prices; printed manuals are passe, and people
want electronic manuals instead; media will be duplicated, and shared
in a heartbeat.

*Note that I'm not saying prohibit; but in general, the market is pretty
damn small, especially outside of hardware vendors.

That is just "old school","pay me for the right to use" mentality.

Use a different business model other than "selling the right to use the software"
