Selling GPL'ed software is fine. The stipulation is that binary software must have a written offer to distribute the source later, to "any third party" - so, if I downloaded a GPL'ed binary and gave you a copy, I'd pass on the written offer to you and you could then request a copy from where I got it from too. Of course, if they're not giving you the offer of source, then they're not complying with the licence. See the GPL FAQ [1] for more details :) Gareth -- [1] https://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesWrittenOfferValid
