This seems to be a common misconception.  You ARE free to sell it for
any amount of money you can find a sucker willing to pay.  But you
MUST abide by the rules of the copyleft that say you must supply
source for what you sell and cannot further restrict distribution by
the recipient.

And it supports your right to sell the code.  Below is the only
paragraph of the file that contains the word "sell":
