You seem to be misinterpreting the GPL license. Read the primer. Also refer

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html
Linux XP as a derivative distribution of Fedora is very well free to sell
copies of it as long as they satisfy the other requirements of the license
such as providing the source code.

I haven't seen source code nor Fedora yet. But one would have to
purchase a copy to verify.
