<div dir="ltr">> GPL means you can snag the code use it and do whatever you
want with it, but to sell it? no.
<div> </div>
<div>That's not true. GPL does not prohibit you from selling code. However, when
you do distribute any code that is based off of GPL licensed code (i.e. a
modified WordPress theme or plugin), free or paid, your work should inherit the
license, even if you're selling it to one single client.</div></div>
