It is with fascination that I read the extensive thread that's popped up as a result of the posting of the single-player Medal of Honor demo yesterday. Frans has already made a lengthy post explaining what we did and why we did it, so I won't go further into that, but I will say that I am sort of pleased to see the debate that centered around whether we were doing the right thing or not in this case, since we actually do exert a lot of effort here to try and avoid coloring outside the lines (which some feel posting this demo qualifies as), and it's reassuring to see so many of you feel this is an important effort to make (though we certainly are a bit surprised at some of the motives that have been attributed to us here considering the efforts we take in this regard). Anyway, regardless of your opinions on this subject, your feedback is appreciated.

Like I said, demo should be synonymous with freely
distributable. Or at least maybe another term that means
the same thing should be put to use.

well demo is short for a demonstration of a certain product, and there are about a thousand examples of demos that aren't for free. Just look at E3, the whole thing is just a giant demo of products, but it costs money to get in unless your a privelaged member of the press...

not to nag or anything, i'm not really sure how to state my opinions on this issue. i just read all 38 posts at once and some of the posts are so far off topic that htey have confused me
