Default Re: Legality of selling open source software

[ QUOTE ]
I dont think this really pertains to the tech forum, but what is the legality of selling open source software (that runs on linux). The way I understand it, I can sell it for whatever I want as long as I include the source code?

Yes, you can sell it. The problem is that you have to make the source available to anyone you sell it to and they are free to do whatever they want with it. Also, since I assume you'd be downloading it for free from somewhere, the people who buy it from you would also be able to download it for free from the same place, correct?
