Stop using -- no, I have no problems with using "non-free" programs.
Stop contributing -- yes, since the overall license will be unclear.
(surely it could not be GPL without the source for the additional toolbar).
But it can be fixed easily by re-licensing to LGPL.

As I said, I have no objections against anybody selling out,
but the price should be right.
Would it _really_ bring you some sizeable income?
At least a 10% of the one quoted in the comics?
Then, by all means, ignore our babbling and go ahead.
Otherwise, do not bother ;-)
