It is a case of pricing based on the value provided, not the cost of the goods. Same way we are always told to price ourselves as developers really.

A license has zero marginal cost in the first place. Software distribution over networks have a negligible marginal cost. An ebook as zero margin cost. We are constantly paying lots of things with zero or negligible marginal cost.
