If your goal is to be able to sue someone over proprietary software, i
strongly advise you to read the relevant EULA first:

 http://www.pgp.com/products/eula.html

section 9 in particular is illuminating about the scope and duration of
whatever minimal warranty you get from having purchased a license.

If you need commercial support, there is no reason to avoid free
software.  Several companies offer commercial support for GnuPG:

Please don't spread the false idea that only proprietary software is
available with commercial support.
