For me, that is different than what I was saying. If people have to explicitly
pay for the contents, thats bad. But if people pay only costs of productio/delivery,
its a totally different thing.
If people pay for the contents, then that is morally wrong. And GPL protects
such a thing. But people can sell only the distribution. That, I see as good.
But, of course, I agree with you that they should at least tell the creators that they
are going to distribute it, and even better, ask permission for doing so.
