http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html states a user can avoid buying a 
GNU GPL program by copying the program from a friend who has a copy. Does 
it mean any download site out there (e.g. CNET) can offer for free every 
commercial GNU GPL software in the world?

Speaking of which, are there any known commercial GNU GPL softwares?
