Downloading from techspot is certainly not illegal, but it's your obligation to ensure that you're complying with the project's license. > Version uploaded to Techspot was listed as Freeware and identifying itself as Freeware, how much more Freeware do you need it to be? "Freeware" is not a license, at best it's a category similar to "Open source". MIT and GPL are licenses with clearly defined and understood terms. Just like "Open source" only implies that source code is accessible, "Freeware" only implies that you don't have to pay for the software. It doesn't automatically grant you a right to use, modify, and redistribute it without restrictions.
