I would assume it really comes down to Gumroad's ToS and what they "allow" on their site, but it is a bit different if he was buying data and reselling it. He's not, he's taking publicly available data and adding value on top of it.
If I were gumroad, I'd love these tools to be out there, it drives more people to their platform through more content. I doubt they'll get upset about this.
It's err... complicated, there's various laws involving scraping data and republishing it. I think they're fine as long as they don't compete with Gumroad or republish their contents outright.

What’s the legality of reselling a dataset like this?

If it's publicly available data, then it's most likely legal, right?
