A monopolist could quite reasonably conclude that the short-term revenue gains from releasing source code will be less than the long term revenue gains from non-competitive pricing of other goods (i.e., binaries, source, etc).
I also fear that you haven't read clause 2(b) of the GPL. How do you reconcile the requirement of no charge licensing with your claim that someone could charge $5,000,000 for a downstream license?
