Unjust? Maybe. Legit? Absolutely.

There is no problem with that whatsoever. They are entitled to.
Anybody, including you, is.

What _I_ personally see as a problem with rollApp is that:

1. Last time i checked (a while ago, admittedly) they were providing
badly out of date copies of GIMP and Inkscape.

2. They did not adapt either of the two application to specifics of
mobile devices, which means they are providing substandard service to
their customers while retaining the GIMP and Inkscape branding. Now
_that_ seems unjust.
