The point here is that with commercial software, you're nothing more than
another paycheck, or another $45 in revenue. Just another license.
With open source software, you're the entire point in writing the software
in the first place. If you've ever glanced through the GPL, you might
notice that it's directly designed to be user-friendly, and doesn't do
much to look out for business. It's a big warm fuzzy. :)
