Since when does the GPL have anything to do with the commercial

Fine. Write your congressman or something. In the meantime,
*please* take this bull$#!+ to another forum or to private e-mail. I am
subscribed to many Linux-related mailing lists, and each time someone
starts a GPL-related flamewar on one of them my inbox doubles in size.
The proper place for this type of discussion is news:gnu.misc.discuss.
