B is the right answer. They get to sell it, but the open-source model ensures the code stays accessible.

That's correct. The GNU GPL Version 3 license requires them to make the software code accessible if they choose to sell it.

I think the answer is B. They can sell the software as long as they make the code available to the public.

Haha, D is a tricky one. Trying to keep changes secret? That's like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube!

I'm going with C. If they're using GPL, then the code should be freely available for anyone to modify and distribute.

Option B seems like the way to go. Making the code publicly available is a fair trade-off for being able to sell the software.
