Downloading freeware - need to agree to T&C?


hi, when download freeware such reader, shockwave etc, assumed agree terms & condiitons.  why necessary agree t&c  sw not licensable?  tracking? thanks

you wrong "not licensable". absolutely licensable, , licensed, , use subject license. licensed software, accepting saying have read license, can make informed judgement, , abide terms, have quite specific restrictions, , accept penalties if breach license. there no money changing hands. among specific restrictions agree not redistribute adobe reader without permission; way adobe controls distribution , can remove old software circulation.

 

here analogy. when publisher prints book, protected copyright. same whether book 99 dollars, 99 cents, or free. nobody else has right copy , sell book, nor copy , give away book.
