The elephant in the room here is the WordPress add-on market. There are thousands of devs doing a thriving business selling themes & plugins, all of which have to be GPL licensed, with basically no trouble. If you want a model for successful open source commercial development, that’s it.

How many of them are able to actually do stuff like paying a mortgage from selling plugins?
