Is it not possible to take a few GPLed Zope products, add your own effort of configuring, integrating, building, (re-)designing, and even documenting the outcome of your efforts and - ___sell___ this? Maybe not only to _one_ customer, but burn a CD and sell it to _a couple_ of customers?
You can sell it but... AFAIK you risk that everyone else can copy your effort for free if you built software on GPL'ed code. And what's only a compilation and what's a derived work (subject to the GPL) is up to the lawyers. Personally, I try to avoid legal ambiguities.
