Incorrect. [...]
My assumption was that when Chris said "charge a fee for a commerical
product"
he meant a CLOSED SOURCE product, or at least one that wasn't itself GPL.
I was thinking of charging a fee for a commercial product and posting
full-source code of all the modified GPL code it uses for free. Some people
are not going to want to deal with the source code; they can choose to pay a
fee instead. What they would get from the fee could include the compiled
binaries, links to the source code, manual, consulting options, ect...
