Haha, you can sell the GPL version to a custommer but the custommer can freely post it on the Internet and everyone else can dowmload it for free.

GPL really is not a commerce-friendly license. It protects rights of the user, not author's rights.

Long as your take that into account with your business model thats not a problem, RedHat is surviving rather well (and is making a profit) despite all of their code being GPL/LGPL/other OSI approved OSS license.

Also for pretty niche products the version on the Internet probably wouldn't spread very fast...
