Interesting license.

In part: "you may download one copy of such materials on any single
computer for your personal viewing use only"

I haven't read every EUL in the world, and I'm NOT saying this isn't
freeware, but it seems odd that this effectively requires me to download
a piece of software twice, if I want to run it on my desktop and laptop.
It doesn't *prohibit* using it on both, as long as I download it twice.

Actually, technically, it seems to say we can only DOWNLOAD it on one
computer.

Maybe this kind of thing is one of the dangers of hand-rolling one's own
EUA.

I'm not a very big fan of popup blockers that work solely on blacklists.

I hear what you're saying. Some developers want to know how many copies of
their software are in use.
I haven't checked the AVG one very close, but if I recall correctly it
states that you need a seperate activation or registration number for each
copy you use. This of course doesn't require you download it each time, but
still a bit of a pain.
