- Nope, not if understand the license agreement which you also downloaded.
- I'd say you just became a "registered" beta tester for their telnet and ftp
- apps. In my opinion, the readme and license texts don't imply any sort of

- feedback about any problems or bugs you find - what a concept! The only
