Best Answer

To the best of my knowledge, yes it is perfectly legal.

Under the license it's under, it's free as in "free speech and not free beer," as the saying goes.

The code is open-source, but there's nothing stopping you from selling a CD.

If someone is willing to pay for this CD, you can sell it. Obviously they could just go make their own from an ISO online (unless it's a re-mastered), but there's nothing stopping you from selling it.
