There is a $500 Billion company that might disagree with you . . .

I'm forced to agree with Doc.   A business can work on GNUstep.  Brainstorm (for which both Nicola and Richard work) is one such example.  As is TestPlant and Apportable and a few other businesses I can think of.

Ultimately the success of a business depends on it's product and it's business model.   The problem has been what business model to adopt around GNUstep.  Should it be the Cocoa equivalent of apportable?  

I think it's a general statement to say that no business based on gnustep could succeed.
