> Under EU law (this is not legal advice), any bug that wasn't known to you at time of sale, but was present at time of sale, has to be fixed by the vendor.

Is this true for software as well?

The law applies to any sale between a consumer and a company, even one for free.

It does also apply to software, but software vendors will rather refund you than fix it.

There is no such thing as a free sale, and no, when you are gifted something, then you don't get the EU warranty protection.

I think it's more referring to offers like these:

* Buy One Get One Free * Free USB-C to A hub with your new Macbook Pro

I would expect the free item to be covered in these cases?
