By releasing software under the terms of the GPL, authors give others the right
to distribute their software for a fee without any compensation.  Surely, you

This makes me wonder how well you understand open-source developers.  You are,
after all, a lawyer, not a software developer.  It does not surprise me in the

financial compensation.
