Bug Description

USC should either be dropped altogether, or the whole 'app store' aspect of it must be removed. Listing 'Price:' for each application promotes a typical proprietary approach to software - all software in the repos should be free and users shouldn't suffer subtle marketing tactics like this to encourage them to use more closed software.

A political, not technical point, but one that I feel very strongly about.

Using 1.6 beta on acer aspire one.
