NB: Even the recipient has a right to:

"charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy"

However, I've no idea whether that means the fee must be reasonable
or not. Potentially, the GPL licensee could also charge any fee they 
like, i dont know.

But the copyright holder most _definitely_ can charge what they want.
