First off I would like to thank all the freebie makers....your work is appreciated even if we don't say it enough. I understand the original posters questions and a few of the responses are the details are in the readme. Thats where I have a problem.
Why does everyone call it "readme".... I can't keep track of them and they keep getting overwritten so unfortunately I can't tell what your terms of use are. This is just not freebies but purchased items too. My one suggestion would be please name it something meaniful like "elmerfuddreadme" or whatever your product is called so people can see what your terms of uses are.
I can understand the frustrations on both sides but I think all the original poster was asking was please be upfront about what the conditions or restrictions are. I don't think they were picking on anyone just expressing their frustration at expecting one thing and then finding out it was something different. Imagine ordering that perfect pair of shoes online and waiting for them to be delivered...only once you got them they were 2 sizes too small.... you don't hate the shows or the maker but you are frustrated. Even if you can return them, you can get back the time lost.
Just my humble opinion, that and about $3.75 will get you a gallon of gas....
