[IGDA_indies] GPL/LGPL, etc

I use GPL for all of my game projects, though I am considering possibly 
changing the license.

 From what I've seen and heard, it seems that some project managers will 
waive the license for a certain group in exchange for money or credit. 
Some licenses (like the Creative Commons licenses) actually seem to 
allow for this.

As for commercial usage of open source licenses, I can point to at 
least a few:

All Linux distributions (GPL, etc)
Apple Mac OS X - based on Darwin/FreeBSD (BSD and APL licenses)
Magnant ( http://www.insectwar.com ) - GPL source code, but graphics 
are commercially licensed.
