You completely miss the fact that the AUTHOR may do whatever s/he wishes to do, including sell the program for any amount or license it under any additional licenses that might come to mind. You totally miss the fact that it is _solely_ the choice of the author whether to license under GPL or not. And whenever the choice is made to release a version under GPL, _you_ have _NO_ right to dismiss the author's personal choice. GPL does _NOT_ explicitly restrict the author's ability to make money from the product. It _DOES_ however directly restrict a LICENSEE from direct profits.
