why not?  You can do the exact same with Debian...you can sell cd's with
Debian on it...(ie..charge for the media and transport of said media)
you can sell support of Debian...but you can't sell Debian itself...you can
include Debian with other software (on a CD set for example) but you can't
advertise it as your own..
