"The Kompany" wasn't able to pay the developer for month with non GPL
software, why do you think they can do it with GPL now (if you say
yourself that it will be less then in the BOS days) ?

In fact i believe that a main stream desktop tool like "Rekall" has no
future when it must live on support contracts only. If you need
support then the product has an error, but i don't want to use
errounous software. This is the reason why GPL does not work for a lot
of software products.
