I found a pretty cool app called WinInstall LE. It allows you to take a snapshot of your system (every file and registry key), the install an application, take another snapshot of it afterward, and it generates a package installer with minimal manual work. I like the idea of generating packages and sticking them on a network share (perhaps a network hard drive) so I can distribute them on PCs; stuff like LAN parties and tools when I reinstall Windows on a PC. A lot of my old disks are too scratched to work, sadly, and so it's either make packages or ISOs, and I'd rather not have to install Daemontools on everything.
Okay, down to the actual question. WinInstall LE was released as freeware, to get people to buy the Pro version (or just get peopled hooked?). Later on, the company decided to stop this and charge for the Standard version.
Tons of Freeware download sites still have the original freeware release up for download, and the license agreement still identifies it as freeware. Is it legal?
Legality of pulled free apps?
