Andy, you can ask for a donation for your picture style, no problem. And it would be great for all of us if you allow us to donate and download it! I saw your videos on vimeo and they are great!
The websites which offer Picture Styles don't sell, they ask for donations, like Magic Lantern does. And they use the Canon Picture Style Editor. See this text from the Lightform disclaimer:
"The Lightform Picture Style and the Cinema Picture Style is a file generated by the official Canon Picture Style Editor."

The Canon Picture Style Editor User Agreement License does not talk about selling prohibition, see the license:
