But that is material where permission is given to sell or distribute things. GPL:ed code cannot be sold since you only have this permission of you comply with the licence. Maybe the actual binaries technically is not copyrighted but you are not allowed to sell them in any case without complying with the GPL. So I cannot sell my Cybook.
