I think you're getting him wrong here.
Patrick wants to avoid that parents will *EVER* have to pay and fears 
the part of the GPL that allows that you can charge for the service of 
providing the software.

Still I, too, think GPL is the way to go. You reach much more partents 
if you release it under the GPL - and even if some mean people trick 
parents into paying for your software: they still got your software that 
hopefully helps!

You really have to ask yourself:
Is your primary goal to provide parents with your software?
Or is it more important to make sure they are never deceived?

Imho the great potential of free software outweighs the risk of 
theoretical trickery. by far.
