Luudicrous.
They have every legal right to license their propretary code for commercial gain. The fact that they have chosen to distribute their firewall for free to end users, does not, in any manner, obligate any licensee of their code to continue giving it away for free. Under Australian law, this is held true as the licensed components are proprietary information, written, developed, owned and copyrighted by Comodo (in several commercial guises) and Comodo (in their several guises) can set the terms for the distribution, licensing and re-distribution of said code, or fragments thereof. In fact, they can set different licensing terms for each instance of the code that is licensed.
The licensee is not marketing the firewall containing the licensed code as “Comodo Firewall Pro” are they?
A product called “Comodo Firewall Pro” is still available for free from http://personalfirewall.comodo.com, isn’t it?
Spend six years, do a law degree, then come back and speak with some authority.
