I doubt those people will be willing (I don't know who though) to
set it to freeware.
I believe the person (company ?) who owns the spell-checker /
thesaurus should be having it on multiple platforms, and if it is set for
'freeware' status, then I couldn't think of the consequences for those
other platforms and programs (i.e. WordPerfect, Word on Win NT, Win95,
Amiga etc...).
Just my two cents.
