The common mis-perception about the GPL is that you can't sell or profit
from selling GPL software.
You can sell at any price you like, the software with or without nice
pakcaging and manuals, you can sell the support at any price you like and
you can sell the manuals at any price you like. All you have to do is
publish it under the GPL and make the source available at cost price or
reasonabley close.
