He may even sell such a CD for $99999 if he likes, as long as he grants GPL's rights to his customers, so they have the freedom to modify, redistribute, ... I see two problems with this ebay-offer: 1. he uses screenshots from the FG-page which are copyrighted. But I don't know if they are available under for example GPL or some creative commons license that allows such usage. 2. his usage of FG's downloadserver. IIRC such deep-linking is not legal if not allowed by the owner.
