Packaging up open source projects and selling them is done all the time is done all the time and is a good business model since you can outsource a lot of the work and bug fixing to people who will do it for free instead of having to pay someone.

The selling wasn't the problem here. The problem was lying about what they were doing and violating the terms of the license.
