oh ho. it's for a cd. ok. if they onlcy charged a nominal fee I'd not argue that.
but at almost 9 euro?! that's like. what nice-price music cd's cost.. in NORWAY (ie not cheap)
.. one has been sold already :/

Not necessarily. In general the licensing would allow this. They even have a disclaimer explaining it with reference to the GPL and service if providing a CD. I hope they at least include the source then as well
But for a otherwise free 30 MB download it is still a rip off

talk about obeying the letter of the rules but defying the spirit

Yep
CatQuest
we can.. post about it on th blog and point out that it's a total rip off (even if it's legal) and also link to the picard dl wich is *only*30 mb so like
I mean if yo ucna acess ebay yo ucan download picard
Also IMHO misleading (intentionally), as it is not mentioning the official sources
CatQuest
yep!

Yes, it's not that uncommon. But first time I see it for Picard. I once saw a rather expensive offering for Libre office
CatQuest shakes head
