Hi...
Firstly, it's not me selling
OpenCPN on Ebay!
However, there is an argument that the seller isn't really doing anything wrong. From the
OpenCPN GPL via their site:
"When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights."
Whether or not the ebay seller is being upfront & honest about this, or is being entirely fair, is another question.
Food for thought anyway.
Cheers,
Neal
