I think selling GPL'd software is a difficult proposition yes. I don't think I know of any of any GPL projects which are sold for profit (unless there's some other value-add, in which case they are selling the value-add not the GPL'd software). > As far as licenses are concerned anyway. Time to market and network effects are probably much more important. In a limited view of software where you're only talking about websites you're possibly correct...
