Hi! I have read the license of Metasploit and as far as I could tell,
it does not restrict the selling and buying of modules that the user
him/herself has developed and integrated into the framework. However I
would like to confirm this, so that no infringement on the license is
made if I sell my exploits in this way.

The license is 3-clause BSD, which should allow for that, but if you
have any concerns contact a legal/license expert. We do allow for
alternative licenses for modules (the License field is per module for a
reason), but wont accept commercial/restrictive licenses back into the
main tree.
