I think the point is that there's no good way to do this in the current Market. If you insist on having free and paid versions, they're separate apps, and there's no way to "upgrade" from one to the other. Correspondingly, there's nothing to stop a user having both installed on their phone at once. The approach of using a separate key/license "app" is an alternate solution to the problem. It's still not perfect, but it avoids the double-installation problem, as well as any trickery to keep a single code base. It's not the solution you ideally want, but it does accomplish an equivalent result, and it works. IMO, it's cleaner - it's the approach I use for one of my own apps.
