Perhaps this is simply a matter of society being used to doing business in one particular way, and not able to fathom that there may actually be a better alternative. Now, I understand that "better" is subjective. But, again, it's just a matter of not having tried anything else. Nothing remains the same forever, no matter how hard someone may try to keep it that way. For the record, I like the GPL and everything it represents. That's about all I'll say on this subject.
