The clause in question does not state that Lucent gets to decide what
is "reasonable". For all intents and purposes, if a buyer and a sell
agree on a price, it is reasonable. As such, it is a meaningless
adjective.

On the other hand, to be nit-picky about it, the GPL only allows you to
charge for transferring a copy, or for supplying a warranty. I can't
sell the copy itself, nor can I charge for the media.
