Far from a "hack", this is totally legal, as long as they follow the 
terms of the license. In the case of Audacity, you should be able to get 
the source code, plus any changes they have made in the source code, on 
request. One could also sell PD for money, as long as they include the 
copyright statement, as HC mentioned. I'm about to get involved in a 
similar issue, where a company is distributing an OSX port of the sound 
editor ReZound. The user community could benefit from seeing the changes 
they made to get it compiled.
