How is this spam?

Not "free"?  F'ing hell, you know it is in the context most people think.

I suppose if I give you you an iPhone you'll give it back, saying 'It's not
free'.  Where's the schematic, gerbers, specifications, code, IC masks etc etc.
 How dare I give you something for nothing.

Express PCB should now charge $100 for their software, then you'll have nothing
to complain about, (except 'how dare they raise the price $100!!')

If you want to promote open source, you're not doing a good job.  How about you
do all of our boards for us, since you're so keen on "free".
