Absolutely you can charge for the GPLed software. The only condition that GPL puts that you are bound to give the sourcecode along with the binaries that you distribute, if you decide to commercialize the application with/without modifying the source code of the GPL software.
AFAIK you are NOT bound by GPL if you use glibc. There are however libraries which utilize GNU library license. If you make use of them then you are bound to give the source code if you commercialize the application. --- Amish Mehta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can I sell a program written by me which uses > GNU-libc?
