If you're in business selling services, it makes sense to GPL the software. I wouldn't call you a software-house, however. I think the problem is that I make a distinction between writing software for release, and selling services that require software. Some folks not only fail to see the distinction, but they fail to see the possibility of any such distinction. -- Government software should be automatically LGPL'd or better (public domain?).
