See 4.5 (Non Compete). Yes - you can do this, but ONLY if you do NOT
advertise
your own downloads within your product (which kind of defeats the
point of having
a free app with Paypal downloads). Even including a link to your
website
within your app would violate section 4.5. I seem to recall that apps
have been kicked off the
market for doing stuff like that in the past.

As far as I can determine (and IANAL), the only thing you can use
Paypal for at this time
is for subscription systems (if the product is purely subscription
based) and donation ware
(and only for pure donations - i.e., you cannot offer the user
incentives).
