The GPL doesn't restrict people from doing commercial business with the software (although v3 does try to restrict certain types of monkey business).

That will make us all happy. And the military then has to use maxmsp. Though, I assume it means military institutions and not my own militant guerilla art. But, we could also conclude that war/military is commercial, at least in the sense that war is waged for profit, and thus GPL should do....
