Have you ever heard a free software programmer "whine" about that? If yes, the guy must have really been an idiot. If you write free software, xGPL or otherwise, you cannot expect to make money buy selling copies, period. It can happen, but you can't count on it. > Of course, if so, it would mean that all copyleft licenses were > essentially equal to the X11 license... The difference is that the xGPL forbids other people to add something, change the licence to non-free, and get rich while you get nothing. In short, it forces people to be fair.
