- If you are given the binaries, you are also given the source.
- You may modify the source to your liking.
- You may distribute the source or a compiled version of it at will.
Note it says nothing about licensing of mods and even the distribution. Each license is actually tackling how modifications and dependencies are treated.
Nothing in the philosophy says you cannot sell it. At all. Nor in any os license.
Remember the first analogy Stalman says: Free software: "Think Free as in Free Speech, not Free as in Free Beer."
It doesn't matter what the philosophy is, it matters what the laws says and what it allows you to do. Many companies don't want you to resell their products on ebay (their philosophy). However, the first sale doctrine says something different (the law).
So while you may not like someone re-packaging and re-selling open source software, as long as they are following the license, there isn't much you can do about it.
Your main point is true, but I'd like to point out that copyright circumvents the first-sale doctrine. You're not allowed to copy and distribute works that you own, if you don't have a copyright license for the material.
