As Paul writes, this is fine: The GPL permits you to use the software
for any purpose, including making a profit by it.

(Conditions apply to redistribution of GPL'd software itself, for
example as a product, but even then you may also charge money for it,
as long as the source code is available as prescribed, and any
modifications ar additions you have made are available under the same
terms.)
