Modulo RedHat redistributing other people's code, in addition to
their own code and so being bound the GPL themselves. But you know

I.e. he's betting that commercial users will users will want his
expertise, rather than his code for free, and that no-one will set up
a similar 'shop' with the GPLed version and undercut him.
