That's EXACTLY what I am saying. You can charge for a PHYSICAL COPY, or
for the service of making one, but may not license the code for money. The
next paragraph, which you conveniently omit, specifically says this:

>b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
