You're right too.... Kind of.

The limitations on charging fees are only to do with the distribution  
of source code, not object code (or source *and* object code) - that  
is, they apply to the case of including a written offer for the  
source in lieu of the source itself.

Look at GPLv2, 3(b) to find it, or GPLv3 6(b).
