Subject: What's the status of your software?

On this page:

http://wordweb.info/free/

you say the following:

WordWeb 3.01 for Windows 95/98/2000/NT/Me/XP
No SpyWare. No AdWare. No viruses. Works offline.
Free for personal non-commerical use.

Yet when I run the setup download, I get this:
_________________________________________
Wordweb Installation License

Welcome to the WordWeb dictionary-thesaurus installation.

WordWeb is free for non-commerical personal use. It may also
be used in educational establishments.

WordWeb Pro has more features and may be used anywhere.
Please visit WordWeb.info for more information.

All users may install this free version for 30 days for
evaluation purposes.

Which is it? Freeware or shareware with a limited evaluation

I will write back to them thanking them for their reply and
apologizing for my rudeness. Guess it is worth the download!

Not true. It said 'shareware', and that started all our concerns.
Happy to see it corrected now.
