Who said any of that ?

There are many paid programmers who do GPL work.

And it seems to me that the person who creates a 
GPL project has ultimate control over that project by
maintaining an 'official' distribution.  The programmer
both gets paid and has control.

That is, of course, just one working model for making
software.
