The software is "free" but a donation is required to get a copy.
Sounds like a church having a concert where the concert is free but
a donation is required to get at ticket.
This practice does not violate the rules because it can be considered
the price of distribution but it is not clear up front.
I have donated money the past but was not listed as a contributor by bitwiseworks
so they had an issue letting me have the latest Open Office. Reluctantly they
agreed without a donation so after they let me have it I sent another donation.
It looks like bitwiseworks.com is not getting enough money to pay for the
work they are doing.
