The seller has multiple auctions of that product, as well. Strangely, he/she lists the product as being open source and reports that $1.00 goes back to "the project." I don't know if this is against ebay's rules or not, but why "sell" a CD for a program that is freely downloadable?

He isn't even selling a cd, he quotes it as "digital delivery"
He is basically selling a link!
