I don't think they make it clear *what* you are paying for. I think it is reasonable if they claim that you are paying for the distribution, NOT the license.
I am not trying to defend sveasoft. Personally, I dislike their method, but I'm gathering information to try and understand who's right, who's wrong and if sveasoft is indeed violating the GPL.
