I must say that I share the same questions/feelings here with the poster. Of course GPL allows for modifying and selling GPL-covered software, but it just does not feel right. I have been involved with FOSS for years, mainly for Q&A and beta testing. Never charged anything, never will. Then again I do not have to pay the bills, but remember that the original transmission and the original rtorrent are free (or donate-ware) projects. And we are talking about projects made from the start, not some porting work...
Plus, pay per-upgrade? I really hope that someone ports a Debian/optware-like mechanism here. I am in envy of the v1 ReadyNAS models :(
