IMO people should have a right to sell things they've made. I get that that is inconvenient to open source folks. And most of the time it will be fine. But, IMO, if this is a concern, someone should make it worth it to this owner not to sell it to a bad organization. It is just not good enough to say, "You can't sell this thing because it is inconvenient to me, someone with whom you have no contract and to whom you owe no duties."
