GPL and money?

[Richmond]

I have just read this:

"These unfortunate comments seem to stem from a common misunderstanding, 
namely that software freedom requires that software be made available 
without cost. Such is not true and there is nothing in the GNU GPL which 
prevents charging for software. In fact the GNU website states that 
charging money for software licensed under the GPL is allowed 
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney>. This is 
why software freedom advocates often quip that they are in favour of 
"free as in freedom, not free as in beer"."

Does that mean that developers producing standalones with LC Community 
are permitted
to charge for their software?

AND . . . does that mean that those who purchase software made using LC 
Community cannot redistribute
is "as is" but must first modify some of the code?
