A very simple question for you. How often have you resold software that you legally purchased? Often enough, right? Well, if it's up to Autodesk, the company behind AutoCAD, you will no longer be allowed to resell your software. Update: As it turns out, the matter has already been resolved: Autodesk lost. A win for all of us.

Perhaps next time you should try looking slightly harder. The software you link cannot in any real way be compared to AutoCAD, other than that they both have the letters C,A and D in their name.
The second problem with AutoCAD is that it is a de facto industry standard much like MS Office. So no solution will really be able to seriously compete unless it can read files created in AutoCad and use AutoCad plug-ins. Two problems which are very harder to solve, and not just for technical reasons.
