Yes, that's correct. AFAIK, the reason is this: "Open Sound System is not freeware but commercial product. The software itself is freely downloadable from our web site. However it needs a run time license to work. The software package itself contains a time limited evaluation license which installs automatically. To remove the time limit you will need to purchase a permanent license from our web site or any of our official distributors."[1] and: "Open Sound System is now free for personal and non-commercial use and comes with a license key that will allow you to run OSS. The license key is valid for 3 months at a time after which you will need to download and install OSS again. There are no time limitations or restricted functionality during the licensing period. A permanant license key that will entitle you to free support and upgrades can be ordered here"[2] Regards, Karol [1] http://www.opensound.com/install_gzipped.html [2] http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi -- Karol Kwiatkowski <freebsd at orchid dot homeunix dot org> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
