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 and we have no problem.

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. Looking at the pictures the last two are views I have not seen before and are not part of the current release as far as I know. I will need to look into it. I would not bother selling on Ebay at that price. It looks like extremely good value for the money.

My version includes the latest Windows stable version compiled on the day of posting, Plus the full catalogue of stars 1.2GB, Extra Landscapes, Extra textures, Extra Nebulae and a comprehensive ssystem.ini with loads of comets in addition to the standard item. I also include the Latest Mac version and Linux source.

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 local postage
$5.00 for OS 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
