Btw. if there are already a lot of GPL licensed libraries and kernel abilities available for a project of some domain, that are not available by such an amount, if at all by another licensed infrastructure, it could become very expensive to create the required infrastructure. Those who make a living from whatever licensed software probably have reasons to chose a particular license. Some probably chose the wrong license by mistake, other chose a license that is good for them and their customers. I can't see that you are that successful with your business, as the coder of Ardour is with his business. That might be a wrong conclusion, let alone that the software license not necessarily is the reason for more or less success. However, you are seemingly not programming in all domains, but you don't restrain from generalizing.
