They have the right to sell the software, as long as they provide
information on where to get the source or include the source with it.  One
would have to be rather foolish to pay for it unless they added extra
value (e.g. tech support), but they can still sell it.
:)  (Just like Redhat can sell linux, even tho most of what it sells is
GPLed)
