Well, it's sort of legit - people can repackage and sell it
and support it as GPL (same as all those commercial Linux
distros), but they are charging $50 for source code
distribution.

Considering they only charge $14.95 for the distro of the
executable, it does not comply with this bit of the GPL:
"[you can provide the source] for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code"

I couldn't see anything about needing to give credit to the
author in the executable product (the rebadging) but my
feeling is a credit to the author or reference to HTTrack
should be there, right?
Nice they say just how great "Web Site Downloader" is though!
