It _doesn't_ suck if you are the business that owns the entirety of
the code.  If you are *that* business, you have plenty O choices,
pointedly including:

- Selling under other licenses to make mucho dinero
- Selling all your rights to Oracle for a big bundle of money

Those factors definitely *don't* suck if you are the owner of the
code.

True.  I was relating to customers of companies using the GPL; Although, thanks for clarifying it for everyone.
