  selling a product or license Generally most GPL'd software isn't sold (terms and conditions may apply).

    IBM used to sell you the computer, and the software was free. The industry could resurrect that practice as a loophole.

      If you sell the computer with the software preinstalled it would still fall under the selling a product part. So if you'd want to actually have a loophole you'd at best be selling the product without any software, and we both know how well that would go with the masses.
