Obviously. How i have to leave my parents basement because i point out your clients are naive is beyond me though. You licensing under the GPL yields them exactly this: Nothing. It benefits a ton of people who didn't pay a single dime but not them. Besides you basically agree with me. You sell support not software.

Who doesn't? People have been selling GPL'd software to dumbasses for ages even without the glorified support. Jeez i've seen "successful businessmen" that couldn't find the on/off switch of their highend laptops peddle stuff that was basically crappified versions of GPL'd software (which shall remain unnamed to protect the entirely guilty) to chainstores. These guys absolutely loved the free money given all they did was have someone design some boxes, find/replace all names and break some parts in the process.

To bad for the original creators but they are just programmers wasting their life away punching keys and not "successful businessmen" after all. Ironically it's likely they were the ones who ended up being swamped with support requests for the broken shit. Either because noone cared enough to really remove all references or people somehow figured out what they were using after realizing "the authors" didn't give a shit about them or their complaints/support requests.
