I look at it this way: as long as the text that is in the public domain is freely available, I don't mind if someone tries to make money by selling repackaged versions. It's no different than the cheap versions of PD classics that most major book chains sell.
Then there are the annotated editions of PD works that really are worth paying extra for. I don't like DRM, but that's a separate issue from charging for repackaging PD works.
