The Preamble to the GNU License explicitly states that you're ALLOWED to
sell GNU software. If Ken finds somebody who's dumb enough to pay for
GCC, fine. Serve him right.
TeX, on the other hand, is not GNU software. There are many commercial
versions of TeX (who buys one when he can get a PD version ? Probably
people who are scared of viruses).
