IANAL, this is not legal advise, you should talk to your own counsel for
a definitive answer.
The UPL explicitly grants permission to "make, use, sell, offer for
sale, import export, have made, and have sold the Software and the
Larger Works". In English, this means that you may sell works under this
license without restriction.
As a matter of practice, this is true for any license approved as an
Open Source license by the OSI. The Open Source Definition (#1) requires
this.
Hope that helps,
