It was my understanding that if it's GPL, all derivative works need to be GPL'd too. GPL is there to only support free software, not derivatise commercial spin-offs

AFAIK, only the BSD license allows you to encrypt, sell and basically do wtf you want with it, but you still have to acknowledge the source.
