Well, i can't agree totally with you, they are really doing hard with their licenses. Look how easy everything is stored at sourceforge, download is made so easy. And then i didn't even talk how to get the source, you need to register which takes another 15 minutes to get it. And when you finally got it, they tell you you haven't got a right GCC version. Maybe it's fixed now, i don't know didn't try anymore, but I tried update 9 with GCC4, didn't work.
