Commerical Celestia

I just saw a web advertisement for "3D Astronomer", which is a commercial release of Celestia. They've gathered lots of add-ons and other important content. I suppose they provide tech support.
http://3dastronomer.com/$49 and apparently Windows-only.
They certainly acknowledge that it's Celestia, which you can download for free. For their distribution, though, it's $49.

Oh dear... the copy is just awful, written by a juvenile methinks.
I smell an astronomical rat.

Just in case someone wants to write a little "love" letter to John Bayer. For instance complaining that the source code and the COPYRIGHTS to "The Celestia Development Team" are not made available with EVERY sold/downloaded copy of the 3DAstronomer software. Or that some add-ons are released under more restrictive licenses...
