But I've often wondered whether you could charge for mass-market GPL software
simply because your ordinary punter doesn't know what the GPL is, and doesn't
mind paying a small amount of money for decent software. Whether it's
ethical, given that presumably the thing is GPL because it inherits GPL code
from other developers, I don't know. Certainly the GPL itself has no
objection to charging for binaries provided you ship the source as well.
