Title:
  Buying $0 apps on the Software Center

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This isn't a bug in the traditional sense however, it bugs me and i'm
  sure, lots of other people, so i'm registering it as a bug cos it
  seems no one else has.

  In all other App stores I know, apps that are free (i.e $0) require no
  payment procedure in order for them to be installed on your device.
  However, in USC, some free apps are priced and $0 and require you to
  go through the whole payment procedure, even though you are not
  actually paying for anything. I don't think this is right. USC should
  be able to know that those apps are free and allow the user to just
  download them instead of attempting to pay. Thanks.
