Yoda has a point though. You have to consider the license agreement and not the emotions. GPL about being freely available and not about price. I am sorry if that gives some people headaches, but that is one of the rules of GPL.
I don't know what actually started this thread, although I also read some comments that may be misconceptions. Once misconception is that you need pemission to link to a site or that all graphics are automaticallly covered under the IP (intellectual property laws). There are exceptions to this, for example thumbnails.
But this is not an IP (intellectual property) thread so I will stop except to mention that it sounds like what someone was doing on Ebay was of little concern to the Eqemu community except to to sigh.
But be prepared. One day you may see an Eqemu book complete with CD media and there is nothing you can do about it.
All I am suggesting that as long as the product is under GPL license then all the sections of the GPL must be honored. Otherwise what is the point.
