    Just to provide a link for GPL scripts:

    http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney

    Yes, you can charge money for them. of course anyone who you sell them to is free to turn around and give them away.

    Please remember that it;s free as in the freedom to do what you want with it, not free as in cost. At least with GPL.

    Note to mods: Link given as proof and since some folks up above were unclear on the concept.

    You need to use the report post function. I'll go ahead and do it for you. Mods have stated they may or may not close threads though.

    If you are taking and modifying a open source script under GPL, you can sell them, but you have give back the full source under GPL. Thats what i understood. I may be wrong.
