Actual developers get paid for actually developing software, not for allowing/disallwiing other people to copy it. Setting it up is a challenge just like any business of course, especially when the status quo is copyright abuse, but it's not impossible.
Informed users can support the developer to do R&D, on their free will, with full understanding of what they are paying for.
For general public, companies providing warranty for specific distribution is something that GPL explicitly allows. Wouldn't it be nice if software had quality standards and came with actual warranty, like any other engineering product, instead of the mess that it is now? Wouldn't it be nice to have local developer agencies/workshops, offering services to general public(fixing, modding and warranty)?
I think that kind of businesses would be feasible if most software is under GPL like license.
