Yes that is a negative pereption. There is still the Paradise 2.99 Final binary for Linux which doesn't expire. Karth's 2.5 release of BRMH does have an expiration date IIRC. Perhaps Trent could be convinced now to finally open source his client - assuming one can get a hold of him somehow. ;-) I emailed him a month or so about the p2k expiration and got no reply, no bounced mail either so who knows.
