I think we should close this discussion. It is not going anywhere. The license of web2py is not up for discussion.
I say (and said) that the GPL license applies to derivative work only. Applications built with web2py and distributed with web2py (compiled or not) are not derivative work therefore the license does not apply. My statement has a legal validity because I have complete copyright on web2py. Having as many users as possible is not a goal. The goal is to have the best web2py framework and not fragment the community. The GPL license, in my view, helps to keep the community together.
