Nobody really sells GPL software, they sell support for it or they sell it together with hardware. I mean, the GPL is perfectly reasonable from a commercial perspective if you're going to charge a one-time fee to release your software and dispense with royalties, but nobody really does that.

I wasn't counting dual-licensing, because what you're buying isn't a copy of the software but the permission to ignore the GPL, but fair enough.
