He is also allowed charging for his install scripts that install ASSP into Cpanel as long as he makes it blatantly aware that ASSP is covered under the GPL and completely free. He is allowed selling software along side of software covered under GPL. He can even modify ASSP and sell his scripts as long as he keeps the previous requirement and also provides the original source. He isn't selling a GPL product. He is distributing (if he actually provides ASSP when he provides the scripts, which I'm going to assume he does). He is selling his own-written scripts which automate installation. I do not believe that is a violation of the GPL. If you still do, you are free to sue him if you are the original author and/or GPL holder.
