Why would it be illegal?  If all the content is GPL'd then AFAIK there 
is nothing that forbids you from selling it for any amount you want 
(possibly under the provisions for transferring the copy or offerring a 
warranty).  Of course you have to provide the source code at no extra 
cost and not impose any non-GPL limitations on the purchaser.

It may not be scrupulous to ask $500 for a CD of GPL'd software, but 
it's not forbidden.  You'd be hard pressed to find someone to buy it of 
course!

You couldn't do that for example with Red Hat Linux 9.0, because it 
contains trademarks which are under a less Free licence, but I'm not 
sure if that is the case for Fedora.
