I think saying that Inkscape "can be sold" is a rather confusing thing to say to our users. I rather think it's more important to say that Inkscape is free, and it was designed to always be free.
No, inkscape was designed to be a vector/svg editor.
If people want to invest in Inkscape so they can turn around and sell it, they are investing for the wrong reasons, imho.
Why? Those are some great reasons to invest to be honest. Better they be involved then sneaking away into some Internet backwater to sell Inkscape and never give back or even take responsibility to fix bugs for their customers. (nor should we give anyone an excuse to hide their commercial activities by being anti-commercial)
But at any rate, we should discuss this in detail, and form a clear picture of what we want to say about Inkscape to our target audience. This will likely be multi faceted, since different people will be interested in Inkscape for different reasons. We can develop press kits and adverts to cater to reach user group.
For this sort of thing, we'll want to talk about Inkscape as a tool first.
