Selling WordPress sites?

What are the laws concerning developing WordPress sites using other developers’ plugins and then selling the sites?

Please read through the following:

  • http://codex.wordpress.org/License
  • http://wordpress.org/about/license/
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL
  • http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

You can’t can sell it as software or development, although and/or you can also charge for maintanance and install.

Anyway, you should at least donate to the plugin developers, if you make money with their work somehow.

EDIT
I’m am sorry for my previous lines: I have to admit that GPL code can be sold, even if it’s not your code, althought I still recommend donating.
