the huddled masses rejoiced to hear:

Ok, just read Andre's post, it looks like they are in violation with
their clause about not modifiying without permission, so they are
legally in the wrong.
IANAL, but I believe that if they are in violation of the GPL their
license is revoked and by continuing to publish it they would be in
violation of the copyright and could therefore be sued. I suppose this
depends on if Brazil are party to the Berne convention or other such stuff.
