Hi
There is nothing illegal about that AD. The GPL licence allows a small charge to be made for the preparation of the distibution media. $10.00 would be closer to the cost. It has been discussed many times by the project team.

This ad is selling a disc with Stellarium and many of the associated extras that can take ages to download. I don't know what version it is but I would hope that it is the latest version. I would not bother at that price but if anyone wants a DVD with the latest. I can send them a copy. My prodution cost would be :
$0.50 for the disc
$1.45 for the CD mailer
$1.90 for postage
No charge for the trip to the PO 7Km @ 50c/KM, cost of ink for the printer. Depreciation of my computer and printer, internet etc.

The ads that really annoyed us were those that collected a fee and gave you the URL to download from
