Not to give legitimation to such egoistic repulsive behavior, BUT your work is released under the GPL/GFDL or a similar "Free Licence", isn't it ? In fact I wasn't able to find in the document text under what licence it's being published, from that one could conclude that it's "Public Domain" which is even less restrictive then "Free Licence". Looking at the strictly legal side of the story, "Free Licence" does allow him to resale your work, depends of curse on the type of the licence & if he follows it's other requirement's (like not deleting the creator credits & such). -- Cheers, Maxim Vexler (hq4ever).
