Let me note here, for the convenience of those who care about
such things, that the "Hello" software offered is binary-only
proprietary.

They are targeting Linux systems, so it is a bit of a surprise to
find that their "free" means free-as-in-beer.  In particular
their page titled "FREE LICENSE" is in fact a EULA.

that stuff should be labelled correctly. -John]
