  Which is why you don't need to ask for permission, just follow the license.

    If you're a business, the license effectively says "you can't use this software" though, because as discussed previously it makes all the software that it touches into GPL software so you can't sell it, which is the point of a business.

      You can sell GPL software. It paid my salary for years.

          What is there to understand? We sold GPL licensed extensions to a GPL application, and made money. All perfectly valid under the license: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html
