Did you object when Opera offered their free licences for a limited period -- that is, *before* they made it freeware, when it was still most definitely *not* freeware? If not, why are you picking on PIM for doing the same thing? -- Cheers, Harvey

However, he *was* referring to the issuing of free licences for the paid-for version -- that's been done for other programs here, without complaints being raised. I'm happy to acknowledge, though, that this group always did cut Opera way, way more slack in the definition of "free" than it allowed other programs to get away with... -- Cheers, Harvey
