Yes, I was trying to keep it simple, but perhaps, as you say, at the cost of some accuracy. :-) Most laypeople’s understanding of what it means to sell software, in my experience, is to distribute it in binary form without offering the source, even upon request. This is what I meant to say was

GPL software can be sold without problems, there is no restriction on selling it, but the buyer can request the source code and it has to be provided (afaik, source code delivery could also have a price, but not exceeding the value of the binary form -- this remark must be validated with a lawyer).

Then you should not have any problem using SEMS as an input into commercial services. :-) As a general rule, open-source licensing is not concerned with _how_ you can use the software, only how you distribute it and/or any modifications you make to it. Think, for example, about something like Li
