I disagree for the simple reason that there is far less demand for electronic media distribution systems than for general-purpose shopping carts (which are used mainly for snail-mail shipments). It's mainly only needed for the software industry, whose products are already in electronic format, while shopping carts are used for all sorts of products and services sold via the Web. More importantly, though, the big companies that want to make their software available for download already have systems in place. And that includes big game companies like EA and Sony, since you can download full working betas of their games in this fashion. That leaves just the "small fry" game companies (small in comparison to EA, Sony, Symantec, etc.) to have to either develop their own systems, license someone else's, pay someone else to do it for them, or wait for your eventual GPL system.
