gr81 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Why is he selling something that is free.....and why would some one pay for something that is free? That's Capitalism 4 ya all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Maybe he put it up as a joke, heh... Maybe people would buy it because they dont know that it is avaible for free? CCleaner is freeware, he is allowed to freely redistribute it, but I dont know about selling it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEEnoble Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 He's also selling TuneUp Utilities 2006 as an email attachment when I had a look at his other items for sale. I smell a pirate.

englishmen Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 If anyone's got a ebay account why don't you guys post some comments stating it is a free piece of software and provide a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdcool Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I think that's illegal beause CCleaner is freeware and nobody is allowed to distribute it in another licence. But clever people would do a web search on 'CCleaner' before they buy from that dude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Well, selling it wouldnt be distributing it under another license, it would be distributing it and charging. Still not sure if allowed todo so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mps69_1999 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I might have stood on a few toes but I did log on to ebay and sent the guy a question asking why he's selling something which is free to download. I'm not really expeecing an answer. As a matter of interest he's selling a few bit sof software which I thought were free check this link out: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZsam20blue BTW Mods if I've over stepped the mark here, your well within your right to come down on me.
