Indeed. And the idea of Free Software is that you don't make money by selling software written by somebody else; you instead provide value-addition over the base software.
Nope. Free Software aka Freedom Software or Example software licensed under GPLv3 or similar license never stop you to sell a software. For example If you purchase a custom GPLv3 software from me, I will charge you heavily. But now you have a license which allow you to sell or upload somewhere on web to sell it free of cost. Because it never restrict you or anybody to share, automatically software become free of cost.
So what's the "Nope" for? That's exactly what I said, right? Unless I provide some value-addition over the base software, nobody'd buy it off me paying $$$ when the same stuff is available elsewhere for free, right? I didn't say the license *prohibited* anyone from selling, only that it discourages it by making it not viable, right?
