GPL and every singly Free license allow people to sell Free software.
Of course, Copyleft licenses like the GPL impose certain burdens on
people making money off Free Software, but that is a different story
altogether.
I am not speaking for the list, or anybody else here, but I was

and other projects. Once it was shown that it was only a communication
