The GPL allows the software to be sold for money, but it also requires that
the code be released along with it. Subsequent users are free to release
the code without charge.
The intention of the GPL is to prevent code from becoming close-sourced,
not to prevent money from being made off of it ("Free speech, not free
beer.")
Confusing, but it all stems from Richard Stallman's experience with
Symbolics, a company that privatized code from the MIT AI lab.
