[development] GPL 2 violation by integrationservic.es

[Alex Barth]

Larry, Matt:

Thanks for the clarifications. Selling modules under GPL is fine,  
module is GPLed licensed. All good.

I went back to Google and searched for 'Drupal licensing' instead of  
'Drupal license'  and found these useful resources (posted by Larry,  
not surprisingly):

http://drupal.org/licensing/faq (see 6, 7, 8, 9)
http://drupal.org/node/272652

I learned something today.
