A minor nit - you can quite legally sell software under the GPL, see the
following FAQ in the GPL-FAQ at the GNU site here:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney
"Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?"
Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of
the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no
limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required
written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only
release.)
cheers,
Chris
