David:  This project has not had much active development in a couple of
years.  The code mostly works, but it desperately needs refactoring.  The
level of cruft has driven off everyone who has ever attempted to do the
refactoring...

On the GPL part, as I understand it you can sell copies for whatever you
want, but you can't close the source or disallow other people from
redistributing it.  If you want to carry out your plan, you'd have
to write your own code instead of modifying an existing GPL'ed project.

Or you could do whatever the hell you want to do to a BSD licensed
project, of course.  That is the fundamental difference between the two
licenses.
