The GPL just says that if you supply the binary that you must make the 
source available for free.. You can charge all you want for compiled 
binaries.. I don't even think you really have to make the binaries 
available for free.. Just the source, and techically only to people that 
have the binaries.

At least that's always been my understanding..

Of course since the source is free to copy anybody that gets it is free 
to do whatever with it, that's probably why most people don't attempt to 
limit access to the source.

this is going to turn into a huge GPL debate now.. I just know it... *sigh*
