I am guilty of sloppy semantics I guess, lumping public domain and free but copyrighted software together. The rub, as I see it, is how can we expect an author of a copyrighted product who has been gracious (or as it turns out foolish) enough to give us a program to spend money going to court to defend his copyright?
