Of course, _every_ piece of freeware comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
If you don't like it, for _any_reason_whatsoever_, your money will be 
immediately refunded, in full.  You don't even have to return the (in your 
view) "defective", product -- or even stop using it.

What 'some others' are, and what _you_ are, are unrelated subjects.

Your insistance on trying to impose -your- standards on the world, and
denying them the 'freedom of choice' to make their own decisions on the
matter -- e.g. "anyone offering such products should be to some degree 
held legally responsible to their worth" -- is a fascist mind-set.
You 'know better' than anybody else, what is 'right' _for_ them.  <snort>

BTW, I'd _love_ to see Microsoft "held legally respnsible" for _their_
product shortcomings.  They'd be out of business in a week at the outside.
