Nope not at all... only condition to selling GPL software is that the seller is supposed to give the option to get hold of the source codes:

GPL said:
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.

I've recently found a local bunch that sells open source cd's at very reasonable rates: http://www.fosscds.co.za/ - (NOTE: I'm not affiliated with these guys in any way) ... sorry PiesangTee didn't mean to divert your bussiness.. :p ;)
 
No prob redarrow - btw, no-one is selling the software, merely distributing it - the fee is for the postage, DVD and service (time). The full 10.2 DVD is 3.9Gb. Ciao
