Default Re: Legality of selling open source software

Yes of course, but I found a really nice program, that I can setup up a remote view/web based etc closed circuit Tv system, and a few of hte restuarants I work for asked me to put something together for them, so the way I figure, I can save myself about 500$, in software cost, because I have the knowledge to get mysql/linux/this software up and running, and I can pocket that money...most of the more robust software that controls these cameras and stuff go for like 1k-1500. And most of the owners, dont have hte time/experience/brains, to do much with the software...so I guess Im charging mroe for my time than anything...

This is perfectly fine. As you said, you're really charging for you time/expertise. This is how companies like Red Hat survive.
