Uh, no. See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html if you're not sure what you're agreeing to when using GPL software.If your software utilize the software under GPL license, you can simply add those GPL licenses as well as make a note that you are only selling, i.e. the price is only for your own software, your own software, you should be fine.
If you are not sure exactly how the GPL works, and you have read the license terms that I've referenced above, and still want to distribute your software that uses and/or links to software licensed under the GPL, I suggest you first seek a lawyer's opinion, and have it explained to you in non-legalese.Just to pretect your own benefit, you can add a statment saying that all rights of GPL license reserved by them. And those are provided just for your convenience.
In basic terms, the GPL says if you include GPL software via use and-or linking in your software, you must distribute _your_ software under GPL terms.
What you advocate is the same as saying that you if stick a pirated copy of windows in with your software, but disclaim in your documentation that you're only paying for your software, not the copy of windows that is not following Microsoft's licensing terms.
