missing the point of GPL. The way I see it, the phrase instead should be
something like: "there are a lot of people who want to take code, created
with respect to other people's freedom, and turn it into proprietary."
Money is irrelevant in this regard.
No it isn't. The reason for turning something into proprietary
is money.
