But can you really restrict usage of the software?
I mean, if someone has accepted to use the software under GPL terms
then, to him, it's GPL. Since GPL allows commercial use, that
should be his right.
I don't think GPL allows exceptions to the license in that something
that's GPL suddenly changes licensing terms if it's being used
commercially.
