Monetization is not what GPL vs. Apache license is about, even if that's often how the Apache proponents want to paint things.

The GPL doesn't prevent you from making money; it only requires you to contribute your changes back. That way others can also make money based on your work, like... you just did!

I think it does though as if my contribution is made public others are less likely to buy it.

With Apache/etc, I can make modifications and sell more easily.
