I'd like to add that being allowed to sell GIMP if you do it under the terms of the GNU GPL is actually one of the advantages of Free Software - just try selling copies of any software with a more restrictive license and you will soon notice the difference.

[Gimp-user] Commercial Use of GIMP

There is no cost to use it. Some vendors might attempt to sell you a CD with GIMP on it. This is not illegal, technically, but there is no reason you should pay for it. You can get GIMP free for use on Linux/Unix, Windows and Macs. If you're not sure where to get it, feel free to ask here. Please mention the operating system you will use with GIMP. The GIMP license (known as the GPL) is more importantly attached to the program itself and how it can be redistributed. The license is designed to make sure everyone has free access to the actual source code if they want it. -- Michael J.

Unlike (for example) PhotoShop, you can change GIMP if you like so that it looks or acts more usefully for your purposes. Free as in not imprisoned. GIMP doesn't mind if you frown or lie to it. It isn't subject to control-freaks (immune to Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder). Free as in freedom of choice.
