breach of license GNU
Thank you for notifying us,
I'm not sure what action needs to be taken. Expecially since you didn't explain exactly how the PDF file violates the license.
P.S. You've just emailed a 6.5MB large PDF file that grows probably to 10MB due to base64 encoding :)

If I got this correct, the creators of the PDF files are adding additional restrictions to it, by disallowing the buyer (even though the price is 0) to distribute it further.
I do not know whether the GFDL disallows this, but I'd be willing to bet it does.
