Go ahead sell your GPL application. I'll get your code, build the application, and sell it for less than half of what you're selling it for.
How exactly will you make your money, then?
Ask RedHat how they make money from RHEL while Oracle and CentOS are exact copies of it. Ask RedHat/JBoss how they make money from JBoss AS when all the source code is available in their repository. Probably, it's not only about the software anymore, but also about the service you get with the software subscription... Although I agree that this applies only to software which crossed some kind of complexity already (hence service is needed) and that majority of phone apps might not fall into this category yet especially if they are not tied to some kind of server based services.
