It would be nice to see a notice from Adobe announcing this as freely available to the public.
I'm just uncomfortable with the fact that this potentially could be some individual's screw up and that for all intents and purposes we're pirating it (since there is no licence).
A store has a sign that says "free bread", you take a loaf, and later it turns out that the sign was put out by mistake- are you a thief?

Or maybe it's US only?
Reminds me of my old telco day as between 3-5pm (GMT) USA lines were at there busiest as that is when they wake up and with that I suspect the same is true today in many ways still.
But is certainly not a case of any region limitations from what I can see and is just a busy site waking up to the morning local rush of freeness. The old /. effect.
But hey, can't complain since it's free ;)
Also see the big lack of competition in that area (for professional use, I mean).
There's AI and CorelDraw, Inkscape is "good enough" for home use but it barely registers
There's PS, some other apps like Pixelmator, Gimp, etc, but PS is the most used
And then there's InDesign. CorelDraw can do some of its work, still...
I imagine that would be a stopping block to making earlier versions free or very cheap.

While the world thinks its obsolete, it really isn't.
Frustrating however as I now can't reinstall After Effects CS2 as they haven't resolved the termination of the activation servers for that.

It's so frustrating to miss out on stuff like this.
"No, You Can't Download Adobe CS2 Applications For Free"
So maybe they decided to give it away, because it's EOL'd sooo hard. Let's see how this develops :)
