A FREE version called Freespire popped up without the permission of Robertson, but apparently that "choice" of a name was BAD so the author voluntarily changed it.


I'm embarrassed to say I was the person behind Freespire.

I have to say I was utterly flabberghasted when I got an email from the CEO of Linspire essentially telling me to: Change the name or we'll have to send in the lawyers. PS. I want that freespire domain name too.

I used to think Linspire was a 'nice company' but I have discovered many nasty things going on that make me froth at the mouth.
