The translation of all this is "barrier to entry" = 1 man can not do  
it and make much very easily.
1 man can not normally fund the team of attorneys to enforce  
licensing. gPL or otherwise.

point 2:
Nobody is saying all or nothing! Not everything needs to be or even  
should be open sourced. That's just crazy absolutism for no reason.

Many people are indeed making a living with open source, but for the  
truly independent developer, it is not always a viable option.

It's not a black and white issue about all software. You write it,  
you do what you will with it!
