i think you'll find somewhere in GPL you cant distribute it under another name and have no reference to GPL on the site

and if this is the way GPL works you need to seriously rethink it

Actually, the GPL FAQ says:

     Does the GPL allow me to charge a fee for downloading the program
     from my site?

     Yes. You can charge any fee you wish for distributing a copy of the
     program. If you distribute binaries by download, you must provide
     "equivalent access" to download the source--therefore, the fee to
     download source may not be greater than the fee to download the
     binary.
