Hmm, I'm not sure if that's GPL-compliant (is it necessary to mention
license in the app description page?), but I would need to buy it to
be sure (do they provide license and pointer to source code in the
installed package?). The same publisher is selling 14 other FOSS apps
with similarly questionable license compliance...
