There's no restriction in the GPL to prevent you from selling things. You just
just can't prohibit the buyer/recipient from redistributing it under the GPL
terms and you have to make source available. Some of the other licenses are
different, but none prevent redistribution and none that I know of have terms
that would prevent that redistribution being a sale.
