Ya I noticed these also. Cant wrap my mind around why anyone would buy on ebay when they could get it from the dsl site and the money will go to helping dsl.

Yeah it sucks, but there's actually nothing against it.  Would actually be a kinda good thing, if the seller sent some money to John and Co., but I highly doubt that's happening.
But yeah, with the way most Linux type licensing works (don't really know the inner workings of GNU, Open Source, etc., etc.) there's nothing actually stating someone else can't sell it if another someone is "dumb" enough to buy it.

Looks like they basically burn a variety of free linux distros to CD and auction them :O
