Some examples: the examples you gave are not "proprietary GPL apps" they are free software, and thus non-proprietary, period. where they differ is, the owner of the copyright on the product is also offering a way for you to turn it into a part of your proprietary product by buying a limited license that is not GPL, to the same code. > I even remember about a Java application which was developed by one single man > and a company hired him to continue the work of his application for them. > They bought a GPL application. they bought the time of a developper. seperately, they could also make him an offer and buy the copy rights to the product and re-publish it as non-GPL. that's a separate issue. In such a case, btw, the older copies of the GPL code already released are already out there and they can't do a thing about it. > There are always workarounds for the GPL license, and you can make it "non > free" on some situations. not if you are not the original owner of the copyrights. > GPL does not provide you "full freedom".
