<p>GPL software can be sold without problems, there is no
restriction on selling it, but the buyer can request the source
code and it has to be provided (afaik, source code delivery could
also have a price, but not exceeding the value of the binary form
-- this remark must be validated with a lawyer). Nobody else than
the buyer has the rights to request the source code.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>

<p dir="ltr">Then you should not have any problem using SEMS
as an input into commercial services. :-) As a general
rule, open-source licensing is not concerned with _how_
you can use the software, only how you distribute it
and/or any modifications you make to it. Think, for
example, about something like Linux, which you are likely
also using. You are free to use Linux to make money.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, it is surprising that you are not
familiar with the GPL (GNU General Public Licence), since
it is all but ubiquitous and probably the most popular
open-source licence out there. I would take the time to
research it, get familiar with its basic premises, and, of
course, consult a lawyer if you have any truly esoteric
questions.</p>
