You can't link to GPL-incompatible code if you're going to distribute the result. If you want to maintain an exclusive right to sell out (which worked well for MySQL AB), you have to get copyright assignments from day one, not just accept GPL'd patches. Some people won't contribute to GPL projects on principle, though I don't think anyone knows how that number compares to people like me who won't contribute to BSDL projects.
