You can charge anything you damn well please for GNU Emacs as long as
you do not prohibit the people you sell it to from distributing it
along the terms of the GNU distribution agreement.  If you don't want
to pay $250 for the software, find someone else who did who'll dupe it
for you, or get a bunch of people together and do it.  The idea is to
provide for free access to the software, but not to force legitimate
businesses to duplicate GNU and other similar software at a loss.
