Is GPL software freeware?
No. The terms of the GPL do not forbid selling the software; they simply require you to provide the source code to the program and any changes you have made. So if I write a program that requires a special compiler in order to make the source code usable, I can still charge for the binaries, provide the source code, and not worry about unpaid versions circulating. In practice, most GPL software is available for free (as in beer), but the legal and technical distinction still needs to be made.
