I don't care if someone profits from my work. Had O released it as GPL, they would have profited the same from something else. What difference did my chioce of GPL do, other than to prevent others from using my code? None.
Then again, having GPL licensing isn't the only incentive for recieving patches. A developer of closed source, using my library will want future updates to be easily applied without their fixed bugs getting reintroduced. Not sending me a pull request would be counter productive.
