Absolutely NOT!
The GPL says two things in big important letters:
1) You can sell a product for what the market will bear
2) You have to provide the source code to your product
Point #1 is where a lot of companies (RedHat, Corel, SuSe, etc)
make their money. Almost all the software on their CD is
GPL'd, and yet they sell the CD. This is allowed as part of the
GPL.
Now, in answer to the original question of commercial Apache,
are you looking for commercial support, pre-packaged Apache, what?
There's a company in Bedford ( NuSphere ) that was with VA at SoftPro.
NuSphere sells Apache, PHP, and MySQL on a CD with some other (GPL'd)
goodies thrown in, plus support. If your boss is just looking for
a shrink-wrapped box, this may be what you want. It's about $80.
