Well having nothing else to do this morning I read the GPL license
agreement. You can sell the binary code to someone.t that person now has
equivalent rights to that code to those that you have. Therefore he can
sell it also in competition with you if he wants.

He , however, can not include it in proprietary code that he has
exclusive rights to sell.

I don't call that kind of redistribution very commercial if you mean
money making.
