I came across a couple of websites that are selling slightly modified versions of WordPress MU for as much as 99 Euro!! The kicker is that the sites were advertised on well known SEO blogs.
This post is not meant to denounce the practice, but more to make people aware. Also, if you are one of those people that were/are planning to purchase a multi-blog script based on WordPress, take a look at WordPress MU first.

It would be very unfortunate if people bought WPMU for 99 Euro when it can be downloaded for free!
They’re not doing anything illegal, but hopefully the high page rank of the wordpress.org site, my blog and related sites will encourage people to download the package from the proper channels!
Isn’t it a shame that people fall for paying-for-free so frequently. Hopefully the news will get out far and wide from sites such as yours that WordPressMU is free. Amazing.
Thanks for the heads up!
If support is included and I get a ready-to-work installation I would consider 99€ as cheap.

99 euro its not a real price for WordPress
