Very disappointing. Moreover I'm not even sure if they're allowed to do this with GPL and other contributors. If they sell I think it would need to stay GPL? Regardless I'm removing these either way.
You can sell GPL software as long as you include the licence (and follow through with sending the source code to any customer who asks for it).
Yeah, it has to stay GPL. So Simple Mobile Tools selling to a for-profit company doesn't really change all that much. Worst case scenario, the original apps get screwed over but someone releases forks of them. Best case scenario, ZipoApps doesn't actually change anything and just acts as a host for the projects.
