If software's direct contribution to one's business is as a cost centre (e.g. because what you sell is widgets, not packaged software), then releasing one's software under the GPL may make sense for entirely pragmatic/selfish reasons whether one thinks Richard Stallman's politics pertaining to software to be despicable and wrongheaded, or noble and correct.
