With GPL, the days of getting rich off of selling massively reproduced
software is over. You have to find another model to make money in
combination with the software. In any case, don't expect to get too
rich from it -- unless you really have some innovative ideas and/or
concepts.
Which is what scares the dickens out of the most profitable of software
organizations making, what I would term, "commodity" software.
