Nothing. The GPL is not a license you purchase.

It is legal to sell Linux distributions, but most (Except for Red Hat Enterprise and a few others.) don't cost a thing and are free to download.

Linux is actually the kernel (the heart) from which many distributions of open source operating systems radiate outwards.
