Stop using "spirit of GPL" .. you can't sell other's people work .. you can use it .. and sell only your "improvement" on that product.
Improving a GPL product ...makes another product which is yours (see Chrome out of Mozilla project, Android out of Linux, etc).. which you can sell or freely distribute.

What did fris add on all those GPL products? what about the products that are not under GPL?
Sorry, but you are the one who doesn't understand it. Ethical or not, if you release something under the GPL and I buy or download it, I can do WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT. I can use it, I can modify it, I can sell it with or without modifications.

If you're going to tell something that they don't know what they're talking about, it's probably best to at least have SOME IDEA of what you're talking about.

Here's the FIRST FUCKING LINE of the GPL Terms and Conditions in the license.

Quote:
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
And I don't like Anna only because she has the attitude of a real bitch, and I don't approve of her starting trouble and playing all dumb and innocent like she had no idea what she was doing. That snatch knew exactly what she was doing and was trying to stir up trouble and make herself look good in the meantime.
