I don't know why it's free. I figure they calculate on selling
documentation and support and want to get a big marketshare. Let me
state that I'm an eagle user, that is I quickly looked at it and was
fairly impressed by the features present. There is also a support
e-mail list for it and responsivness of the developper behind the
product is outrageous. I stopped reading the list after a while -
again cause it does not make too much sense to me. The impression I
got is that the support is excellent.

I downloaded the full version over the internet - there is IMHO no
need to order a CD (well unless you have a slow internet access only).
