That's not correct.  When you sell software under the GPL, you only
need to make the source code available, upon request, to your customers
for a fee.  That fee may only cover the costs of distributing the source
(i.e. postage and blank CDs).

Many interpret this as "make available to the public for free", due to
the fact that your customer has the right to redistribute the code you
gave them under the GPL, but it isn't the same thing at all.

The GPL is quite business-friendly if you read it carefully.
