You can charge for a license as long as you follow the other GPL terms (source etc). But your customer can still distribute the software freely. But I guess this is only a problem for shrink-wrapped software: for one-of custom applications, there does not seem to be an incentive for your customer to give away software that they paid money for. >From the GPL FAQ: Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money? Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only release.)
