They've changed their name remember?

As I understand it, they changed the name of the product, not the company.

I mean a distro that runs a user with root privs and charges them to download bundles of OSS using their propriatary delivery mechanism.

They don't run the user as root anymore. And while Click-N-Run may be overpriced, I'm pretty sure it uses the quite non-proprietary apt-get delivery mechanism.
