It's not free - unfortunately, a lot of stuff that is otherwise free on other platforms isn;t free here (for example Opera vs Opera Mobile)

You see, if they took a line of source code from the original TuxRacer, which is GPL, then asking money for their thing is illegal. Moreover, they _must_ provide full sources with their "enhanced" application.

EDIT: I have mistaken. Read further.

Actually GPL doesn't restrict anyone from selling the software.

Yes. But what it _does_ require is distributing source code alongside. Did anyone who bought this game get sources?

As has also been pointed out (bullet 4 in the Pro section) in the original review, the sources are all included.
