Anyone interested is free to obtain a better license aligned with their needs.
Surely the curve function is worth something. Take that something and invest in a non GPL license.
GPL = Share and share alike
A company using the curve function for profit is not sharing. And that is OK, but they should also be paying for that, due to the fact that they are unwilling to pay by contributing more open code.
The open code comes from people who have to eat. It makes perfect sense for closed projects to pay for a suitable license. The author makes mention of all this, indicating commercial license plans.

That's exactly as it should be.
