...and at the risk of monopolising the forums (it's okay, I'll shut up after this unless there's a really good reason to post again), in the light of this thread I'll be rewriting my readme files on all my freestuff items to allow the downloaded copy to be passed as a gift to a single other user. The non-redistribution clause was intended to disallow posting the files for public download at another site. I had, I admit, overlooked the possibility of someone downloading on behalf of someone else, and personally I have no problems with an individual passing on a freebie they are never going to use again themselves, as long as the package stays complete with its readme.
