If you aren't happy with a license you distribute with a different license.
Often a person/organization distributes under a custom license (Apache,
UMN's MapServer, etc).

The GPL purposely allows charging for ditribution.  I personally think it is
the strength.  It allows a product to see commercial investment and maturity
that often couldn't be achieved otherwise, but requires that maturity to be
re-released to the community.  That's a win-win situation, in my opinion.
