Short version: doesn't seem very legit

Issues
- They don't appear to share the source code for either the GPL programs they distribute or the PAF launcher, which is GPL. If they do, it's not labeled clearly. I went digging and the best think I could find was the code section of their sourceforge page, which is blank.
- It's extremely unlikely they have permission to redistribute some of the programs they provide. For example, they're distributing:
- Adobe Digital Edition portable, which is not at all legal: "Digital Editions is not licensed for distribution on external websites. You may provide a link from your website to access the Adobe Digital Editions download on adobe.com."
(adobe.com source) ... there's just no way that Adobe made a license exception for some random portable blog. - Silverlight portable - I couldn't find license details but it's unlikely this is something you can redistribute.
- Paint.NET, which has a specific statement against this right at the top of their FAQ: "you may not distribute modified copies of Paint.NET." http://www.getpaint.net/license.html ... they're also distributing an Adobe product. It's possible that permission may have been given (which has happened), but that's not been made clear.
- Adobe Digital Edition portable, which is not at all legal: "Digital Editions is not licensed for distribution on external websites. You may provide a link from your website to access the Adobe Digital Editions download on adobe.com."
- I haven't tested any of the programs on this site but shnbwmn has noted the wrappers themselves don't work very well.
Also, before someone points it out, yes there are some echoes of the Liberkey situation. Please don't wake the dead on that topic again.
