Basically:
new BSD license (also U++) - you can sell anything, even TheIDE itself, in whatever form (including binary, training, sources)...

GPL - you can sell training/support without limitation. You can sell your own work or the unmodified original work as long as you make sources accessible to customer and as long as the product is under GPL license too. But there's absolutely no restriction on monetary side of thing. (some people in forums have difficulty to understand this... just ignore them)

The problem is not whether you can. The problem is to find customer willing to pay for something what is available for free elsewhere. The training/support is best choice, because that's not available so directly, but if you are skilled merchant who can sell even firefox, you *can* (with sources and under GPL license).
Good luck turning this into profit (I'm not that good personally. Sad ).
