To make money..
An interesting related link (same person):
"We have some software and source distributed under GPL and
would like to make a number of improvements, then retail
it."

Again, this is not a problem is the license is left as is
(that is, you can request the modified sources), and if the
buyers actually know that they are buying a service and NOT
a product. But the naming change is a bit weird in this
case .. looks pretty suspicious anyway.
