No promises, but you can charge whatever you want for a module. However, it's only a distribution fee (same as buying linux CDs) and the GPL then applies to the purchased software (they can then give it away for free if they want). There are also restrictions on the contents of the package (attribution, etc.). Also, Non-code assets like images are not inherently GPL by virtue of using Drupal, which is why themes frequently have a fee associated with them. As for action... it only matters if they are actually violating the license terms. Someone would have to download it to find out for sure. - Ken Winters On Nov 19, 2009, at 11:11 AM, Alex Barth wrote:

Is this
a) A violation of of drupal's GPL 2? (In my understanding very clearly so) b) What are the proper steps to be taken to get this code taken down or published?
