Modulo RedHat redistributing other people's code, in addition to 
their own code and so being bound the GPL themselves. But you know 
what I mean, hopefully ;).

I.e. he's betting that commercial users will users will want his 
expertise, rather than his code for free, and that no-one will set up 
a similar 'shop' with the GPLed version and undercut him.
