Hi will.
Being one of the guys that produces these questions for the polls, I
want to explain you the reason of not doing such distinction. It
appeared clear to
me that copy protection is a device always related with commercial
concerns and so the question obviously does not tocuh freewares programs
and does touch all the rest, shareware included, as much as this last
category is as commercial as anything else with just a different
distribution system.
