I have a question about the GNU and software distribution.

If there is a piece of software that says it's GPL, but requires a 'Support Fee' as well as a domain for 'support' (Both required) in order to download the software. Is this still classified as 'GPL'? Or is this a backhanded way to try and accept a fee for the software?

Thanks.

Kray
