I know that. Though I can see myself breaking the AUP of the server by
accidentally downloading the same source twice while creating the pacakge. Can
I not sell it anymore then (I guess I can, I would just violate his server's
AUP not the GPL).

Also, I don't like the signal the author is sending by the misleading
statements of pretending that downloads are covered by a license agreement
different from the downloaded software.

We all want to get rich and release free software. The Dansguardian way is
not the way to do it.
