I think you just pointed an important consequence of the use of the GPL. Like the author said, we are in a changing time in the software world.
It was : R/D then sell it. Let others make money by supporting it.
Now it's more like : R/D then give it. And make money by supporting it. The best example is IBM.
But besides the ones doing R/D, who can make money from the new paradigm ? I don't know.
