The discussion was about the use of GPLed components. My point was that 
if you use those components you can no longer license it under any terms 
you care to and that in turn means that it is not really practical to 
"sell" it in the sense of selling the bits. Once you allow 
redistribution, someone else can redistribute your code at a price much 
lower than your own.
