GPL violation?

depends.

They are allowed to sell it, but they have to supply all the src files along with it as well. They can't just supply the binary files

Well, Inkfish originally worked in Athena projects but this is the same as what happened to eAmod about a year ago.

You can freely modify the emulator and charge whatever you want for it, but you can't re-release the software under more restrictive license the original software has. So as long as the GPL license is intact and he doesn't threat people without a "legal" copy of his software as eAmod owner did (under GPL licenses it's legally impossible to pirate a software) it's completely legal.

But if any customer pays for the modification then decides to redistribute it for free, he's in the absolute right to do so.

 
Thanks for replying.

I have downloaded the test ver., and I cannot find any sorce code/GPL license included.

Code: 
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the termsof sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey themachine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,in one of these ways
