thats right. if you want to use the software itself to make new software

No it's not.
You are free to charge as much as you want for selling GPL software and
support, however you _must_ provide source with it.
perhaps i should read what your idea is, could you provide a place for
me to find it ? as a guess, are you going to do something like mysql ?
you can use mysql for free even commercially, but if you want to use the
software in your software, you have to pay for it ?
MySQL is released under 2 separate licenses. There is GPL for those who
want to acknowledge it and provide source and there is also the option for
privately negotiated agreements with MySQL.
The Reiser filesystem is also distributed under this dual license system...
