As far as we know, we follow all guidelines set by OpenELEC + XBMC.

But on their site they claim:

"DIT is TV The One; ons geheel eigen besturingssysteem", which translates into "DITisTV The One; our wholly own operating system", as in 'proprietary'.

There's a mighty fine contradiction to establish how trustworthy these guys are. Trying to turn a profit on other people's ignorance, this sickens me.

That is, because they are not freely distributing it.

wrong,

If you use free software in your project, you have to make the code containing the "free software" also free. The costs they are allowed to charge is the way of sending the software to you, if that is, by mail.
I'll look it up for you and paste it in an edit.
small edit: If by any means you would use free software and "sell" your software for 1 million euro's. so that no one would buy. you'd have proprietary software. that's why it's not allowed. there are restrictions.
