If you want to publish your application to the Android Market, you have to get a developer subscription ($25). Once you have a developer subscription, you can publish free apps as much as you like; in order to sell apps, however, you have to be in one of the countries where you can be a Google Checkout Merchant. Google gets 30% of the revenue. Also, be aware that the paid apps will be available only in countries that are listed in the Paid App Availability list (scroll down).
