I take "...running off with the good stuff and selling it for profit" to mean "creating derivative work and commercializing it as proprietary code" which you can not do with GPL licensed code.
It's the “proprietary“ which is the distinguishing criterion there. The “selling” and “commercial” is totally orthogonal to that. That's the point: selling, and commercial activity in general, is explicitly encouraged and permission granted by the GPL. Too many people speak as though it were otherwise.
