If they truly distribute a modified version of your GPL package, the
statement
"Die Weitergabe der angepaßten und originalen Quellcodes ist jedoch
nicht erlaubt." (Distributing modified or original source codes is
not permitted)
seems to be a very obvious violation of the GPL.
Do you have contact with these people?
Theoretically speaking, only the copyright holder is entitled to take
legal action against violations of the GPL, but if you need help, we
will certainly help you bringing them into compliance.
Regards,
Georg
