Repackaging and selling free stuff is a business model that is hundreds of years old.

Occasionally, it's worth it, as the repackaging may come with some help understanding the material, or help in organizing it.

Well, water is free, and yet it's sold in bottles.

And I can sell you any GPL program I got for free, if you're willing to buy it...
