Btw, it's actually surprising how many people don't actually know that
GPL software can be sold for money. To many people that info comes as a
surprise.

  I wouldn't be surprised if at least some people have published software
under the GPL without actually knowing (nor accepting) that someone could,
for example, make a compilation CD including their software and sell it
for good profit.

  Sure, they are fools for not actually reading what they publish their
software under. However, perhaps this part of the GPL license is not
advertised enough. Everyone only hears "your software will be free,
and anyone reusing it will be forced to also publish it for free".
