I would have much more sympathy with your argument if you had at any point said 'so I'll take the download version and join the club' or 'make a donation'. Without that, it sounds like another freeload to me.That leaves only the product "download edition" if I do want the distro, which is a pity.
I have not yet checked out the club. But you're right: I should. As for donations: Don't you think it would be strange if I criticize the business practice of Mandrake, then turn around and donate money to them? No, it's far too early for that.
Cheerio,

Only as strange as criticizing the business practices of Mandrake and then turning around and using their product for free.
