"That is one of the big problems with GPL'ed software there is no way to get money for it if a huge company like Microsoft starts using it and selling the software that is was bundled with for a huge profit."
No open source license can successfully prevent big companies like Microsoft from making money off an app without paying the creator. Not the GPL/LGPL, BSD, or any other license, as long as the source code is available to the general public. No free software authour could afford to challenge the likes of Microsoft. The great thing about open source is the way the programs evolve, evolution isn't controlled by the balance sheet.
