That's the thing with books that are out of copyright... you can do anything with them. You can give them away for free, as the fine folks @ Gutenberg and the MobileRead Library do. You can also package them up any way you choose and sell them for a profit.
There was a huge stink in Canada when that happened just recently. Someone packaged up a new edition of Anne of Green Gables and sold it. The problem was that the cover showed a young, blond, modern-looking young woman. But hey, that's what happens sometimes...
