Since this thread is a bit old, I won't start a prolonged discussion
about the matter. I just want to ask what makes you believe there is a fee?
When installing the app, you are presented a license agreement. The very
first paragraph reads:
---Quote:
You - the end-user of the Extended Dictionary package - are granted the
rights to use this app, free of charge, on any computer within the
license periode.
You have the right to run it simultaneously, or individually, on as
many computers as you want.
---End Of Quote.
Read this paragraph carefully. It CLEARLY states, the license is "FREE
OF CHARGE". How much clearer do you want it to be written? If you have a
better way of phrasing that a product is free of charged for a licensed
period, let me know. But even your freeware anti-virus software, will be
free of charge, for the licensed period. I really am not sure, what in
that phrase ever would lead anyone to believe there is a fee? If there
had been a fee, would it not have stated so, and definitely abstained
from claiming "free of charge"?
Window-Eyes for Office, is likewise a product, offered to you as a "free
of charge" product, for the time Microsoft keeps that licensing feature
running. I have never seen any of you asking if there is a fee on that
product. Do you claim that the free edition of AVG, Avast, Nod32 - is
unclear if it has a fee, even if your license agreement on any of these
products will (often in far more complicated terms) state that the
product is under a free license? Again, should any of you have a better
way of phrasing the FREE OF CHARGE statement, I am willing to have my
English capacity adjusted.
PLEASE, will you abstain from arguing why the license is limited. All
developers of any product have their right to license their product for
whatever timespan they may decide. Reasons may be many, and often deeply
dug into more complicated conditions. Again, take the free offer of the
screen reader, for MSOffice users. It is only licensed long as that
arrangement is in place. When you use a free edition of your Anti-virus
or -spyware, it is licensed for free, within a certain scope. Do you
question why? I am not going to deal with a long discussion on WHY
things are the way they are, only trying to figure why anyone has got
the idea there is a fee on my product, all the time, the very first two
lines you are met with, so definite and clearly states that there exists
no such fee.
Could it be a small suggestion for you all, to please read the text
carefully? Should you have any further feedback on the matter, or the
software itself, would you please contact me directly on:
[email protected]
I will do my best, to answer your queries.
Regards,
