During European Laws (in mostly ALL countries the same):

If you puplish something without a license it is OPEN DOMAIN
That means people can use it, modify it, sell it...
BUT
There`s one BIG exception:
The Author can prohebit it! And if the autor didn`t made a clear point
(e.g. that his stuff can get sold) it must get mentioned like a "NO"
(contract laws. Like: if you change parts of a contract and you don?t get
an answer it must get noticed as "NO" (something even the german telekom
had to learn...)).

So as long as the original author didn`t angreed it`s totaly illegal to
sell the stuff.
Exeption: E.g. you burn a lot Puplic-Domain stuff on a CD and you sell the
whole CD for e.g. 1-3 EUR (to cover the cost of a CD+energy you needed to
burn it. This is NOT valid for downloads).

Another law:
If a german sues Frist he`ll sue them in germany. If this german is the
original author the judgement will be clear.. and Frist will have another
problem... So autors don?t have to care where the company is from.

All the stuff -> Add some "As far as I know...."
Laws change.. but something never changes..
