Correct me if I am wrong, but unless you have a license from Digium
directly then you must sell your "Pro" version software under GPL.  What
you do for documentation/packaging is probalby not covered under GPL.

You make some good points but I think that the solution is not to
commercialize everything.  There is starting to be a trend of businesses
(and governments) turning away from commercialization (ever so slowly but
it is in that direction).  Pick something that is missing and contribute
that to the community.
