Firstly, this is not legal advice. If you're doing something this significant, you should see an attorney that knows the law with regards to intellectual property in your jurisdiction. Secondly, DFSG 9 is "License Must Not Contaminate Other Software". Thirdly, you can sell GPL software anyway, even for profit, without asking for permission. Look at how many people sell Debian CDs: https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/
