Software can be upgraded with no cost to the original developer!
I think this shows one of the greatest things that Open Source and GPL offer. The original developer did'nt have to pay a cent to see it's software evolve on a new platform or be up to date. The rules can seem unfair, but the same rules allow him to sell the app also! He can get the new code (for free), and state that he is the original developer in his marketing.
