Hi all, I've got a question that maybe someone here can answer. Say, you download programs as freeware and later the same programs are changed to commercial software (with a price attached). Are you still able to use your freeware copies legally? One such program is Fractal Vizion. I origionally downloaded it as freeware, now I see that it's no longer free, but $25. What is the official verdict? Just trying to stay within the guidelines of the law and copyrights. William

Is the one that costs money the same version? If not, my guess is that your earlier version is still free with the user's license that came with it.

Fractals will always amaze me!

if a version was free to load down, then it stays legal to use even if it is not free any more. but to updare it is something else.
