First, GPL license does not have any restrictions on charging. So, the
question is not if you charge them or not. The question is: if you give
them binary code, you have to give them (when they ask you) also the
source code. Thus, if you have made changes to the code you have to give
them also the changes.

Mysql client libraries are by default GPL (unless you buy a comemrcial
license). But as most of Kamailio is GPL too, I think you just have to
obey the GPL license.
