You can read the GNU License that follows every program released as GNU.

The context of that License is that you may distribute the package that
you recieved, but may not make any profit from distributing it. You may
alter what is in, but not claim it is yours.

To make it clearer, read the license...and remember to read the notes to
all programs that you download, since they in turn might help interpet it.
