What is this? I didn't know you had to register it. I thought it was free, That sucks.

| Abyss Web Server is free! The registration is just their to ensure the counts of how many users have used the software , no limitations apply. Everything about AWS is completly free. |

HeavyDisk,
The links say "Free Registration" or "Resgiter your copy for free"... We can't do more to make people understand it is really free :D

"Free"? Since everything is FREE, can you send me Abyss source code too? It is not totally "Free" without the source code. :D 8) Heeehe.

CapFusion,
Free and OpenSource aren't similar :D
Windows CE is OpenSource for example (yes, you can get its source code) but it isn't free (you must pay when you want to use it in your products).
Abyss Web Server is free but (free=$0 to use it) but it isn't OpenSource.

Interesting perspective of point-of-view, depending on which side of the fence you on. Heehe.... :lol:
One may argue:
Auther / publisher side - Yes... Abyss is free as a product to use (in =>$$).
User Side - No - eventhough product is free but can not freely manipulate or modified it source. Therefore it is not totally free.
J/K....
Seriously.
Abyss as a product is FREE - Diffinitely. No complaint here. Without Abyss, I will probably be nag to death by other user / friend trying to setup a personal webserver. Thank you SO much!
