    You can sell GPL code. Even if you aren’t the author. What you must do is share the code with those customers though.

        You perfectly can sell GPL code. And you can double-license yourself (provided that you are the copyright holder) as GPL and a privative license. A lot of companies do that, legally and correctly.

        Open source can be sold/commercialised. I think you’re confusing between FOSS and open source.
