If you’re only guaranteed one sale before your first customer undercuts you, then it is free “in the limit”. That is why Red Hat sells everything ancillary to the software itself (quality assurance, training, documentation, support, etc.)
ChessBase is selling the software, and they aren’t getting undercut because they are not redistributing everything the customer needs to rebuild it from source. It will be interesting to find out what that is (neural net weights, or whatever) and whether the court upholds that this is not copylefted under the GPL.
