There's no question of charging for the source.  The GPL says that if
you distribute a binary under the GPL you must also make the sources
available (for a reasonable duplication fee if desired, or for free),
or indicate where the user can get the sources for free from (e.g. a
URL).  An offer of the form, `Here is my app for Rs. 50000 and if you
want the sources I'll charge you another Rs. 50000' is explicitly
forbidden under the GPL; at least until the Indian Rupee gets so
devalued that Rs. 50000 is the going rate for a bottle of cola, in
which case it may certainly be considered a reasonable duplication fee
:)
