_Taps foot_

That site is worthless, it looks like. Take a closer look at the licences described in the links - mostly shareware, outdated, demo and trial licences. They’re pretty much all about making you think you’ve hit something good, then just linking you to a Adobe trial download. (Which usually works for 30 days and is free at [Adobe.com](http://Adobe.com) anyway.) So in effect, it’s just there to generate pageviews and adviews.

Before somebody gets clever and starts going over the line here, I’ll remind you of the terms of the Registration Agreement. We’re getting close to the line here.
