OK, you read but you didn't understand, please read the first post one more time, carefully.
Whatever, this isn't going anywhere.
I'm tempted to buy your app only so I can redistribute it for no charge as is my right.
Long live Open Source.

Of course you have right to do that, I hope it will be a move forward not backward. Best wishes

for $1 it's already a must-buy, but I hope you add compass support too!

Me, I don't care. If I had to donate by PayPal I would probably not do it, I do not have a CC. Buying elemental's work for 1€ is another way of supporting his effort. As long as he publishes the code on the conditions set the the Stellarium license, I'm fine.

I'd expect the fee to be voluntary, but even if binary packages are distributed for fee only, source should be freely available to anyone, even if they don't buy the product.
Firefox add-ons for example use the voluntary donation model (see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/). You can get the software and the source, and if you want you can contribute some funds to the authors.
Nokia Store probably just doesn't offer such functionality, that's why paying appears mandatory. Anyway, when code will be merged upstream you shouldn't have any difficulties finding it.

Seeing as elemental doesn't seem to want to share the source, it's available here: https://bitbucket.org/elemental/stellarium/overview
Not surprisingly, it doesn't differ from the original source much.
While elemental's actions are legal by the definition of the GPL, I find it quite unethical that he is profiting from the hard work of many, many people just for the sake of changing a few bits of code. I, like countless others, have spent lots of years in the open source community, giving my time and my code for free just to make the world a better place - for absolutely no charge whatsoever. If this didn't happen, your phone, your computer and your internet would be a very different experience right now.
One line I noticed that has been changed - from:
"SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.")"
...to:
"SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "Stellarium is a planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.")"
Long Live Open Source.

Well, it's clear you haven't understood my first post. As I said the 1euro fee should be considered as a donation for EmuMaster work mainly. Some of you are happy with that. But if you really want to be it for free at Ovi Store then you, people decide and I will set it as free, no problem.
BTW: I haven't said I added much, I added gps support mainly as I wrote.
