You missed refuting one very important wrong statement.

According to Mr. Henry:
So, if a company downloads a GPL product, and incorporates it into the company's product in such a way that the company's product is considered a "derived" work or a work "containing" the downloaded code, not only is the company obligated to use the GPL to distribute its product, but also it is obligated not to charge.

Nowhere in the GPL does it say that you can't charge for a GPL product (or derivative work). You do have to either:
1. ship the source code with the product; or
2. include a written offer to provide source code for no more than the cost of providing the source code.
