Quote - The way I see it, EF / CP could have certainly decided to just charge everyone for all the updates regardless of any imagined or real entitlements since we don't have the final say. So the fact that we're getting these without paying extra (such as instead having to buy Poser 7) to get these updates is why I'd consider them it to be free. It might be sad, but there are plenty of other software companies that wouldn't be as "nice".

All of "evil"  DAZ's updates have been free.  And that's not even counting the free
figures they are now giving away such as Victoria 3.0, which even has the updates
included in the newest FREE download.
