Well, no, selling GPL-licensed software isn't prohibited by the license, 
provided that the price reflects reasonable distribution costs. At $500, he's 
rather exceeding that. Since Gnucash is readily available for free, this is 
more a consumer fraud issue.

Perhaps someone in Australia will take it up with whatever consumer-protection
