  1. Magazine "Givaways" on Borland C++ Can No Longer Be Used To Make Free Software? · · Score: 1

    My experience with Borland products has been that when the old version is "given away" on a magazine disc, the license is totally different from the one you get when you buy the latest product off the shelf. I remember having a version of Delphi from a magazine disc which came with a license which didn't allow you to sell executables created with that compiler. The idea, I think, was that you could play around with it for your own use, decide if you liked it, and then if you decided you wanted to use Delphi for commercial use you should go out and buy the latest version. Sounds like this may be a similar case. I would seriously recommend checking out the license provided with the "real" version before pointing fingers and making accusations.
