From the sentiment on the list, it seems that the license model is wrong. 
Everybody is talking about free-to-do-whatever-I-want-to-do-with-it in a BSD 
style license. If the project really welcomes any kind of support and/or 
software, free and/or commercial, the type of license should have been BSD, 
because as it stands, it has very little to do with the GPL. I'm not implying 
GPL is a superior license but rather that from what I read on this list, 
people say GPL even though they mean BSD - both valid choices, as long as you 
don't confuse them, which happens quite regularly around here (like calling 
GPL-d software non-free).
