MISCELLANEOUS AND NOTES-DISCUSSION
====================================================This post is left available for any packages that we simply have not figured out a category !
And special general notes and discussion.
=================================
DONATIONCODER
=================================And the DonationCoder software is a bit of a hybrid in terms of this list. A low-cost commercial license is expected (appreciated, required) on a real corporate-enterprise biz usage, yet the home user and light small business this is optional. So if we work in a medium-larger company, we can install a few programs where we work for our use, and then if it expands to new usage by others, request the site or multi-license.
Mouser gave the explanation on this page.
https://www.donation...x.php?topic=18813.25Though we don't make too big a deal about it, the official DonationCoder policy about commercial business uses is described here:
https://www.donation...r.com/Help/entry/23/
It basically says:
"Our software is free/donationware for personal use. If you are running your own small home business, we consider that the same thing (as fellow voyagers in the world of small home businesses we know how hard it can be).
But if you are running a real business with more than one or two non-family employees, we do expect you to purchase a Site/Business License for the program you will be using.
Note: If you are simply an individual using the program at work, it doesn't matter if you are a member of a large business -- you do not need a formal commercial license (unless the program specifically says a commercial license is required for all profit making use). Commercial Licenses are normally intended for the situation where many people at your business all use the program."
In other words, if you are a larger company that wants to install the software on many pcs, you should get a commercial license. Otherwise, no worries.

PROLIFIC PACKAGES - PROVIDERS PAR EXCELLENCE
====================================================NIRSOFT (Nir Sofer)
http://www.nirsoft.net/ http://www.nirsoft.net/faq.html"A: When I say that my software is for "non-commercial use", I mean that you are not allowed to make profit from my software. You are allowed to freely use my software in your work environment for serving the internal needs of the company or for your own personal use. You can also offer my software to your customers, as long as you don't charge your customers for using my software, and as long as your customers know that my software is freeware and available to download from NirSoft Web site. Government agencies are also allowed to use my software without restrictions.
However, you are not allowed to:
* Include my software as a part of commercial software package.
* Charge your customer for a service provided by using my software. For example: You are not allowed to recover the password of your customer by using my password-recovery tools, and then charge your customer for password-recovery service. :"

====================================================
Note the WSCC package is for installing NirSoft and Sysinternals, and Roadkil has been a suggested addition.
WSCC - Windows System Control Centerhttp://www.kls-soft....om/freeware/wscc.php"WSCC is a free, portable program that allows you to install, update, execute and organize the utilities from various system utility suites. WSCC is only an interface, you need to download and install the utilities separately. Alternatively, WSCC can use the http protocol to download and run the programs. The included Update Manager can check for newer versions of the utilities already installed and can download and install the missing items. The setup packages are downloaded from the author's website!"
The WSCC developer, KLS has a very competent shareware file backup software. One suggestion was for them to consider adding the Roadkil utilities to the Control Center.

ABANDONWARE
=======================================Reluctant to be included above, hard to justify to the biz-bureaucracy, yet hard to omit if the software package still meets a special need excellently, and has a cadre of dedicated users.
NetDrivehttp://www.novell.co...lutions/qna/999.htmlNetDrive - Browse FTP File Structures in Virtual Explorer-style Drives
http://www.freewarer...er-style_drives.htmlAbandonware and WebDrive
"NetDrive was created by Novell Networks. It is abandonware, which - if you want to get technical - is not freeware. Novell abandoned the NetDrive software and opted for the very similar and expensive WebDrive. I’ve tried WebDrive and concluded that NetDrive was good enough and got the job done."
"From the NetDrive.exe - Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer page, Novell tells us this:To find a download, search for netdrive.exe on the Web. Due to licensing issues, it is not a download from Novell.com."
