I remember this stuff going on with Joomla and they had to pretty much ban the sale of modules because it broke the GPL license. Not that I'm against someone making money for their work, but I do believe this kinda thing is against the GPL because it isn't a stand alone product and uses wp code. If they don't want to operate under the GPL agreement they shouldn't be writing code for a CMS with that kind of license.
