I'd watch yourself -- you'll lose a lot of respect if you start slandering (as
opposed to criticising) licenses like the GPL. Note: the poster mentioned the
BSD license, which would allow the use you infer.
The GPL also does not prevent the above use -- simply use the LGPL for the base
code and wrap it with the extras in a closed-source method to bundle for sale.
It is better to keep silent and thought a fool ...
