At the web site you quoted, it stated :"The freedom to improve the program, and
release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
(freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this."
As long as this freedom is followed, I have no problem to anything
you like to say. For "Access to the source code", it is only expect
to pay the "distribution cost". Commercial development of free
software is wonderful, as long as the freedom to access source code
is not taking away from anyone.
