This appears to me to be perfectly legal under the GNU General License,
the ad also states:
	"...Including all source code $250"

From my non expert reading of the GNU license the comply by giving
all the source code with the distribution.

If I wanted I could also place an add and sell GNU emacs source
for $10000 and be in complience, no one in their right mind
would buy it since you can get it for $100 from FSF but if anyone
has any money to throw away let me know and I will send you a
tape for $10000.
