If ArrCab has a EULA and it states that the copy you have (freeware) can be freely distributed than it should be legal to distribute.

If its got a blurb about not distributing than you can't.

CrazyCraig can you post a screen shot of the EULA just to satisfy my curiosity?

just to reiterate mine is a Leitimate free copy!

Well, I'm no lawyer, but after reading that, it seems to me that the terms to which you agreed stipulate that you're free to pass that copy around as you please, provided that you make no money doing so.

Take one side, and stand by it - that is what I am advocating!

I also happen to agree with this quote.  However, I have absolutely no need to obtain ArrCab, therefore I have no opinion on it whatsoever.  I'm merely bringing this up for discussion.

With that said, to satisfy your "challenge"  ;), I will say that if I were to want ArrCab, then I'd have no problems accepting a freeware copy of it from someone who was fortunate enough to download the copy when it was freeware.  I would NEVER accept a copy of a payware program, that IS theft.  However, freeware is freeware.  

They got greedy after the software became successful.  There isn't much that can be done about that.  Hindsight is 20/20.

I think that as far as the people here who know you are concerned, we're all convinced you're a stand up guy, and wouldn't steal a program, Craig...lol
