He still can't sell something he doesn't own, service or not. I can't download a Linux distro, burn it and sell it on the street, for instance. It's still illegal.
Yes you can, but you can only charge for your service of burning the CD, ie. a couple of quid. That's perfectly legal, but under the GPL only. This doesn't apply for most software.
I've seen a few hardware/software suppliers sell Linux distros for a couple of quid (including P&P). That's just an example, not the entire justification for what I've said in this post.
You can charge whatever you like for it, the GPL doesn't limit that in any way..
