Vim can be used freely under the Vim License. It can be downloaded in source form from the official Vim site ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/ . Some binary distributions are also available from the same site but they are not updated as bugfixes are published. Steve Hall distributes a bugfixed Windows installer, see http://cream.sourceforge.net/vim.html (I recommend installing version 7.0.017 which is the current "released" version). See also my HowTo pages if you want to compile Vim yourself (it's not difficult): http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm (for Windows) and http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm (for Unix/Linux).
2. Vim users are encouraged to make a voluntary donation to the Kibaale Children Centre in Uganda, but that is at the users' discretion, nothing is required. 3. Users can also help Bram Moolenaar develop Vim by sponsoring/registering. See (after starting Vim version 7): :help license :help sponsor :help register Best regards, Tony.
