To my understanding NodeJS is open-source, and these people profit on the docs and not the actual project, so from what I see here this is absolutely legal. You can profit on an open-source project, even if you don't make it, as long as:
A: You follow the license
B: You follow trademark and copyright law

This case seems like both are true.
