One clear issue: I could find no reference to source code 
availability on that web-site.  Possible second issue:  Does the 
GPL require that GPL'd works are identified as such?

The first issue is a requirement of the GPL, but I'm not sure if 
GPL'd works need to be identified as such when being redistributed.

One of the recognised FG project team members _needs_ to get clear 
legal advice regarding this sort of issue.  It keeps cropping up 
and each time it happens no one has a definitive answer to it and 
it leaves people running around like offended headless chickens.

The GPL specifically allows redistribution of GPL'd works, and for 
profit - the only real issue here is whether this distribution 
conforms to the requirements of the GPL.  It's got people in a flap 
too many times already - don't guess - find out.
