This may have come up before, but <a href="http://integrationservic.es/" target="_blank">http://integrationservic.es/</a>drupal.php launched on Nov 12 and appears to be violating drupal's GPL2 by charging 33 $ for a module download:<br>

Is this<br>
<br>
a) A violation of of drupal's GPL 2? (In my understanding very clearly so)<br>
b) What are the proper steps to be taken to get this code taken down or published?<br><font color="#888888">

<br></font></blockquote><div><br>I believe they're only in violation if they don't offer their source code with a GPL license after you buy it. I don't think charging $33 for a download would be a violation.<br>
<br>I can't see anything about the license terms on their site, but if they aren't distributing their module under the GPL, then in that case I think it would be a violation.<br><br>- Scott<br></div></div><br>
