You can sell per seat, per user, per server or whatever other method you 
want to. There is nothing in the GPL that prevents this. RedHat does it, 
Novell does it. The only thing the GPL prevents is lockout - if someone 
wants the source, they get the source. I hope that I'm misunderstanding 
your use of "strictly forbids per seat licensing"
