Thanks. Was curious about whether it's legitimate to sell versions of
Wikipedia.

Yeah, GDFL allows commercial use. Many copylefters are of the opinion
that licenses prohibiting commercial use (e.g. CC -ND licenses) are
not truly free use.
The ability to reuse GFDL conent commerically is a big incentive for
Wikimiedia reuse (and so--hopefully--greater diffusion of free
conent). This incentive makes Wikimedia content more valuable and more
uesful.
