Yes, you can sell it! But you still have to abide by the rules of the 
GPL and have to give those who buy it the source code, and allow them to 
distribute it.

As for using it in a commercial environment, that use case is certainly 
permitted as well. Donations, however, are of course appreciated ;-)

You may want to read the GPL license in detail or start with the 
wikipedia article (digikam is licensed under version 2):
