Omigawd, I find that I have to come to Jay's defense.  (What next, dogs
and cats sleeping together?)

The GPL specifically disallows any additional redistribution
restrictions.  Recipients have the explicit right to redistribute, and
may not impose additional restrictions on *their* recipients.

Jay is right insofar that -- practically speaking -- you can only sell
your code for more than your distribution cost one time.  Eventually
somebody like CheapBytes will come along and redistribute your GPLed
code for next to nothing.
