Maybe not wrong for charging, but usually those "for pay" programs are plain-old verbatim ripoffs of Alf's tools with no credit given. The only reason they're not "wrong" is because the ripoff artists are protected by the fact that Alf's contributors can't really go after them even if an (L)GPL license had been affixed to their code.

They're both equally breaking the law in locations where the distribution of DRM-removal software is considered illegal. But only one of them is a blatant (and unethical) ripoff in ALL jurisdictions.
