It is not free software, it's proprietary. Please don't use the phrase "free software" in this context, as it confuses people. It has a very specific meaning in the context of software.
- mhurron 10y agoEven in the context of software, it still means no cost. In the context of software it can also mean FOSS, but just because we're talking about software doesn't mean we suddenly lose the 'no cost' meaning.
- EpicEng 10y ago'Free' has exactly two specific meanings on the context of software. Sorry to burst your bubble. The version you are referring to is irrelevant in the minds of the vast majority of people who use software.

- cyphar 10y agoAh sorry, I was wrong. I thought that KeePass was proprietary and that KeePassX was a free software replacement. :P
