    You can sell GPL code. Even if you aren’t the author. What you must do is share the code with those customers though.

        Open source can be sold/commercialised. I think you’re confusing between FOSS and open source.

        You perfectly can sell GPL code. And you can double-license yourself (provided that you are the copyright holder) as GPL and a privative license. A lot of companies do that, legally and correctly.
