I've been using the site for more than a decade& I've never paid.
It's not like he owns the software; it's mostly Microsoft copyright. I
just checked the site and I did not see any requests for payment or
anything. I am thus puzzled.
They wanted $9.75 from me. The link from this sentence in the article:
"Please note that this download is no longer free, due to licensing

linked to:

which explained how MS wanted their pound of flesh.
I too will be sticking to free tools. I find the Ubuntu server CDs ideal
