This subject came up on IRC a few days ago. I sent the guy a nice email explaining the requirements, and pointing out that the easiest way to do this is to explain in the auction that this is an open source project hosted at www.flightgear.org. He replied that he already includes the source code and GPL in the package, but that he would be happy to add a flightgear.org link to the auction. I haven't gone back to check. There's actually nothing wrong with selling free software for money, so he's basically fine. It's just slightly misleading to do so without explaining that it is also freely available.
