Yep.  Search eBay some time for "flight simulator".  You'll see dozens of 
people selling it.  I'd have zero problem with it if they were up front 
about what it really is and where it came from.  Providing FlightGear on 
DVD is a good thing, but not at $40+.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
