Linspire Makes Click and Run Free 158

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday August 30, 2006 @12:04PM from the headed-in-the-right-direction dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After five years of charging an annual fee for their CNR (click and run) service, Linspire has dropped the annual fee, making the CNR service free. This combined with their previous announcement of open sourcing the CNR client, and the Freespire project, is all very big news. This means Freespire users can now have a free distro, using a free CNR service."
