Then you were screwed over and perhaps the first person did get it 
legally.  However, the second person's response was definitely wrong!
Just because he bought 9.x or earlier and has access to the Round 
Table does not imply that he can just download 10.3 free.  That's what 
he was saying and that's what I was objecting to.  The thing about 
the documentation is strange, because I sent in my upgrade money to
FreeSoft when the announcement went out and received a new disk and
manual soon thereafter.
 
|I wouldn't   throw around the charge of stolen software so casually.

As I said, I was mainly saying this in the face of the second person's
argument that Round Table access == free 10.3 download.
