I guess you are talking about the upgrade subscription, right? However, as GPL clearly states that you cannot charge anything for the Software itself, you actually pay for the "service around packaging, power, ethernet - simply infrastructure and update service".
I don't believe this is correct. To the best of my knowledge, the GPL doesn't prohibit charging for the software, but it states that the source must be freely available. The GPL doesn't have a lot (if anything) to say about cost, because "free" doesn't mean "as in beer" in the GPL.
Seems I am correct on this.
