you are right, i am not familiar with the license... but my point still 
stands... violating the license by using *shareware* beyond the trial 
period/requirement is still thieving it...  i just wish i could find the 
license for the Lite version so i could see if there are any 
restrictions, or if it's truly restriction free, even though that's not 
relevent to my original point...

wow, you totally missed my point, but that's ok, most of the people 
who've replied to me on- and off-list have missed it... so i echo it 
yet again...

violating the license agreement is a violation... using 
share/demoware past the agreement time (or whatever) is a 
violation, and since it requires payment, that is stealing... duping 
CDs of things like Photoshop and handing them out to friends is 
stealing... selling them is pirating... etc...

never did i challenge the use of freeware (i did challenge people 
looking for a free lunch), or indicate that developers were stupid for 
giving it away...  to follow your sentiment, i'd think you were stupid 
to read that from any of my posts...

but i don't think that... oddly enough...

and because all this is noise, both your post and mine, i will pay 
with a tip, and hope you might do the same...

<tip type="Photoshop">
You can select all pixels that are not 100% transparent on a layer 
by ctrl/comman-clicking on the layer.  This is handy when you 
want to get a complex image out of a layer, but don't know exactly 
where its edges are.
