Until recently, there weren't any GS-specific "acrhives"/warez sites.
If you think the lack of "FREE" availability for commercial titles
is due to the high morals and principles of the maintainers, then you
are naive or stupid.  The only thing preventing commercial titles
from appeaing on Dr. Tom's warez-site-of-the-week is public watchdogs.
 
To paraphrase a recent csa2 exchange:
 
Pirate: "I'm releasing 'The Manager' 1.1beta to my warez site.
	It's FREEware and FREEware should be just that - FREE!!!
Developer: "Actually, Seven Hills is the American distributer.
	What you're doing is illegal."
