I won't lie. I get the version from the site, and it's always worked perfectly (except in cases where there was documentation otherwise). Personally I like to evaluate things on functionality, ease of use, and of course cost, rather than what license it runs under or who wrote it. This software works great for $20. That's enough for me.
