Maybe but I am not so sure.
If I publish an application using my server (and needing it to run),
which will be online for one year, no more : I doubt the market T&Cs
puts me in the obligation to keep my server online forever. And so
this is indeed an application limited for 1 year.

What I wanted to say is that an application said to be limited till a
given date is just an application which provide this claimed
functionnality. No less no more. Even when the date limit is reached,
it still offer the same claimed functionnality, and is still free...
but that functionnality is that it is not useable now.

In case of a trial version limited in time, the paying version is to
be considered a different version. And it is anyway, since it is not
limited :-p ...
