Note that CDrom Access is not the original game publisher... they are simply making money on selling what is in all respect abandonware.

The retailers also need the profit, just as much as the developers.

Do you really think that if some old game is sold by a software pirate (and I see CDRA as one) it really means that the game is "still sold" in the normal meaning of this word?

Software pirate? Why's that? As far as I know, they're selling original copies of the games.

If I had a copy of it and sold it to my friend, would it mean is is "still sold"?

Of course not. However, retailers base their business on sales, and need the profit. Naturally in the wide world only online retailers apply, as for example a corner store in Ankara is hardly a source everyone can access.
However, the CDAccess has sold out their compilation by now, and unless someone can find another place to buy it from, it seems Space Hulk has indeed gone abandonware.
