It is not an issue of license costs. IIRC, you are not allowed to let people pay for GPL software. You can sell the material and documentation you wrote though, and charge customers for your personal work. Most Linux distributors do that. So if the costs are the cost of a DVD-R and the shipping cost, plus a really small amount for the time you take do do all that, it would be no problem.
