And that is the main criterion? SCNR, but it really looks that way if
you write it like this.
I never said or implied that my using a program was a "main criterion"
for anything. What I should have said was "*In fact*, it's a program
that I myselfe use extensively."
I would define it as Freeware under certain conditions, in this case,
private use.
I would agree.
There are so many "partly freeware" out there; if we are
going the purist way, we will soon leave out quite a number of good
programs.
Like others, you seem to think that when I had the F.A.Q. up, that I
thought that only pure freeware should be recommended in this group.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Everybody knows that things
like registerware, postcardware, certain beta, certain CDWare,
liteware are okay to talk here.
BTW:
There are obviously several levels of "freeware", like freeware for
private use, donationware, postcardware, adware (under certain
circumstances, Opera isn't too obtrusive);
Personally, I disagree about Opera. It's adware pure and simple.
However, others think differently.
and I would propose to set
the limit about there when the "free" ware becomes spyware (gatorized or
whatever).
And yes, I say that the Gator system is a spyware suite. I have the
right to say my opinion, based on Article 5, Paragraph 2 of our basic
law (Grundgesetz), and Gator can't do anything about it.
Heh. Good for you Gabriele! Get 'em!
