How about a notice on the download page to the effect that the product
is free and anyone that paid to receive the link should demand their
money back and/or contact their credit card company?
You know ... that's not a bad idea! Such information could also be
added to a readme or other file in the download package so it would
appear onscreen at install time; perhaps at the ref to the licensing
rules.
Aw shucks. Twernt nuthin.
It can't be done vengefully though; all the wording would have to be
clear and concise without malice, but making it clear the user should
not have had to pay for the software.
I HAVE seen a web site that offered OOo and claimed to add value to
it, and apparently actually did so, based on the accompanying software
bundle. OOo was sort of just part of the bundle and value added
"somethings" were added to it. It looked legit, and interesting, but
I'm not prone to spending money just to verify something is a good deal
unless it's a good deal to ME<g>!
Make the notice *prominent* and include verbiage about value added being
legitimate.
And just what the hell is wrong with vengefully? The scum deserve it.
