I only recently came to the realization that premium (i.e. paid) WordPress plugins are licensed GPL v3. This is a pretty large market for people buying what's actually OSS even though they don't realize it.

You can and should sell free software (how would you make a living otherwise), software is basically a service, it's not physical commodity, by working on free software you are essentially sell your own services and do it in the best way possible - i.e. completely transparently. There's is this misconception that Stallman is some sort of Che Guevara of software world, he is not, it has nothing to do with opposition to capitalism or communism.
