That's my reading as well. §130 of the German penal code (Strafgesetzbuch) makes any kind of trade and all but private possession (within certain limitations) of "Mein Kampf" still illegal in Germany. Even the annotated version is a compromise that the state of Bavaria only very, very grudgingly suffers to exist.
