Because people don't understand the complex relationships between 
copyrights, licences, price and distribution?

Which is fair -- a software developer's job (e.g.) is to develop 
software, not to spend time locating and grokking bits of arcane 
knowledge related to how their software fits into the Big FOSS 
Picture -- that's for the lawyers and the RMS's of the world.  If you 
want proof, have a look at the thread starting at:

That thread is probably going to go on for another couple of weeks with 
no resolution.
