it doesn't say that you should ripp of customers
"You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee."

Paying hundreds of dollars for "the physical act of transferring a copy" says a lot about the intelligence of the people whom they targeted.
And the "warranty protection" for the software takes the cake.

[And while their software may be GPL'd, their "click-n-run" service costs money.]

Who cares about "click-n-run" when you have better free services?
