That's what I heard, anyway.

Technically you're only supposed to download this version if you have the license(by buying the software years ago) but the way they went about it makes it free to everyone to download. The serial numbers for the downloads are next to the links. They never seemingly went about fixing that so it's still effectively free. Anyone with the proper OS can download it and use it. And some people have read the licensing agreement and all it requires is that you acquire it from Adobe...which since they're hosting it on the site you are.
