   You can sell any FSF/GNU product for any price you can get.  The
   GPL has to do with distributing source code.

   The way I understand it is that if you make a product using libg++,
   you must distribute source for it AND your own source.

This is true currently, as lib-g++ is covered by the GNU General
Public License.

FSF is working hard to create a special license. the GNU Library
General Public License, which will not require you to distribute you
own source.  There will be several requirments, including the
distribtution of linkable object code.  Drafts have been posted to
gnu.g++.help/help-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu for those who want more details.
The drafts are subject to change.

lib-g++ will most probably be the first library to be covered by the
LGPL.  Deoending how that goes, other GNU libraries may or may not be
covered by the new License.

   For more details, read the license terms.  --
