50,000 out of 1.4 million is roughly 4%. So, yeah, like I said before: about an order of magnitude too high. But that's really a definitional argument, and those are dull. The larger point is that plenty of people still sell software to other people.

The FSF has this bizarre belief that companies write some software, and right before it gets shipped, pick the license under which to distribute it [1]: When we explain to the employer that it is illegal to distribute the improved version except as free software, the employer usually decides to release it as free software rather than throw it away. Our hapless employer wrote some amazing software, but then found out that they had to give it away! Hah, joke's on them! 1: https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/ https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/
