i think i wont reply any more as this is a little dull. my final comment
is that the gpl protects commercial use.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLCommercially
if you believe in free content/source code you cannot drive a wedge
between free and free-but-not-for-commercial...that is one of the
reasons why the FDL sucks and why CC is starting to realise this
problematic and in the new license chooser (apparently, havent seen it
yet) NC will be categorised as a non-free license.
