Yeah, I don't see the problem here. There are some projects where a
large portion of the useful additions to the code base come from
companies who need certain features to sell a product. Asterisk comes
to mind. Heck, the kernel itself isn't a bad example -- quite a few
patches are sent upstream from companies like Red Hat and SUSE that are
selling distributions. The fact that they're getting something that
they're making a buck off of doesn't strike me as a problem. Last I
checked an oath of poverty was not one of the clauses in the GPL. ;)
