Go up one level in this thread


>is no worse than announcing and linking to old dedicated units available for
>purchase at certain auction sites...

not exactly

the auctions i point are not sold by me..and ICD does not sell old computers
i never point out new products  sold by ICD


>Freeware is allowed, and the engine was indeed freely available, even if for a
very short time span.


:))
seems to me..a way of getting around things
5 days its freeware..
certainly not the same As Ed's Pro DEO now is it?




>My understanding of the charter in practice, is that making an isolated or some
isolated announcements regarding the commercial release of a program is ok.


two points here
1."isolated" is not really in the charter
perhaps it should be
2.even if it was ..one could hardly call the last few days posts here as
Isolated



there is a new marketing model at play now i see

an Engine is announced as free for a short time by the author..and then released
as commercial

its advertising Al..

dont need to be a marketing genius to see this

Best
