The first statement there is not exactly true. Take another look at the GPL. At the prices he is charging for "shipping and handling" it'd be fair to call that a legitimate distribution fee. But for the bid price, there is no statement by the seller offering a period of support, so it is fair to say that he is in fact violating the letter and spirit of GPL. Apparently the ad is a little misleading in several ways. It is sad to see everyone's work, especially my own (as insignificant as it may be in the scheme of things), exploited by someone who is obviously trying to use little white lies to over represent the product to his or her customers. I guess you can call me naive, but this reseller sucks big time in my book.
