Hello Jamie and Evert;

General Public License (GPL) does not make a software "free as in beer" 
but "free as in freedom".
Kdenlive application download & use is not charged by Kdenlive project 
and official website, where it is publicly available, but this fact has 
no relation with GPL. It's a Kdenlive project decision.

FOSS can be sold and buyed, but can't be restricted if anyone wants to 
share it for free (no money).
There are other FOSS projects that official website requires a money 
payment to download product, and it's GPL licensed. After this, they 
can't restrict you to share software (no permission required, no payment 
required by author).
