Free Allegiance live on CNET

Frivolous point of fact: Allegiance was not developed my Microsoft, but by Microsoft Research.

Seems like CNet installer is against Microsoft Research Shared Source license...

Bundling the installer with Babylon toolbar is against the license:

QUOTE 3.

For example, you may not distribute modifications of the Software under terms that would permit commercial use, or under terms that purport to require the Software or such derivative works to be sublicensed to others.[/quote]

Whoever put it on CNet, he should remove it or make sure that CNet removes their commercial installer.

I'll contact them right away and have them list it as "Direct download" only. I do believe most of our newbs have been coming from Cnet, though.

Use "Report a problem" on Free Allegiance download page, they won't respond to comments posted somewhere else...

I just checked and it appears they have honored my request and the D/L is no longer bundled.
