I've installed it and looked on the disk, all the config files are freeradius.

Nice!

Does this include any modules that are written for freeradius?

Yes. They use the API from the server core, which is GPL'd.

I'd think running external scripts is OK as these are not compiled against or linked to the freeradius code, but what about modules? Don't these require compilation, would this mean that if you write modules for freeradius and sell the solution you need to provide the source for the modules?

Yes. If they've added features such as PEAPv2 and EAP-Fast, that code would likely fall under the terms of the GPL. If they don't agree, then they are not following the terms of the FreeRADIUS license. Alan DeKok.
