[H-GEN] GPL or not??

[Tony Melia (DMS)]

Hi, I am a bit confused about a software program that is supposedly GPL, but
is not downloadable (commercially) without a license.  The software is
Dansguardian, which is GPL for both commercial and non-commercial, however,
the author says you need to buy a license to download it.  Can you do this
under GPL?  I understood GPL means you can download it, resupply it  (all in
source form) e.t.c as long as it is not modified, or YOU do not charge for
it.  I would like to setup Dansguardian for some clients, but don't want to
breach licenses by just installing it.
 
The download page at http://dansguardian.org/?page=copyright2
<http://dansguardian.org/?page=copyright2>  says 'For all commercial[2] use,
upon your downloading, DansGuardian 2 is licensed under the
<http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.html> GPL, however permission to download
DansGuardian from this, or any mirror[3], website is restricted. '
 
Can anybody who know's a lot about GPL clarify if this is really GPL
software or not?
