It depends in what way you sell it to them, no?  If you send them a copy 
of the software, you are distributing it, are you not?  Therefore under 
the terms of the GPL, you must make the source available on request, no?

In this circumstance, I would assume the terms of the first licence the 
software was put under, the GPL and not yours, would apply.
