GOTD team, you definitely ought to investigate that issue! It surely isn't a minor one! To be honest, although there have been a few false positives in the a² results this time I don't believe in a f.p. for multiple reasons. Something which at least from my point of view is considerably questioning the credibility of the author, InstallBuilders Company, as well as in every case alike we had on GOTD, is that on their website they give no hint as to their location, not even the country they come from. Would a serious, customer-related company not be going to build trust by having the customer know where, at least in which country, the company's working that he's gonna pay and rely his pc on? Some urging questions need to be answered. I hope you can agree in that, GOTD team.

I work on a number of game and software titles and I needed a software like this to allow myself to distribute the projects. I hope GAOTD offer this software again soon, because I can't afford the $80 pricetag attached to the current release, and my search for a better software of this type has so far been fruitless.

I guess that teaches me to keep checking this site and take advantage of every opportunity. Hope you re-offer this soon. Aww man!

As an example, the whole open source movement places restrictions in their licenses on using their code and programs in commercial programs, that are not themselves open source. And the moment you download an open source program you fall under the covering of one of those licenses (they have a few different ones). Many shareware products make it very clear that they are working with distinctions in usage. You can use for free for home and personal use, however corporate use of multi-copies is required to buy a license, not simply consider each user an an independent. (Programs like Belarc and maybe FinePrint make this distinction, and hundreds of others.) Thus to simply say "there is no contract, it is unenforceable to have such a restriction" seems to be an interpretation of convenience. In practice I do not expect that using a GAOTD in your own small business usage will be more than an blip on the radar of unknown gray legal areas. However I don't think it is legally valid to simply make a fiat declaration "there is no contract". Shalom, Steven Hi Folks,

Just used this program and I am IMPRESSED. I will probably use this about four times a year, but when I do, it will be a heartfelt thank you to InstallBuilders Company and GAOTD. WOW!
