I know people think they've been shafted if they paid for the now free software. It's comparable to someone buying a product at full price only to see it go on sale a week later.
I used to work for a retailer and that was a constant complaint. The legal position (in the UK) is a company can charge what it wants, when it wants. The customer takes pot luck in that respect. OTOH, they don't come knocking on your door for more money if the price goes up at a later date so it kinda balances out.
That's not to say I don't feel sorry for the people who forked over their hard earned for the stuff but sadly, that's the breaks. Hey, I've had it happen to me from time to time. It doesn't happen any more, simply because I don't have the money to buy anything in the first place.
