+Pad is freeware. I certainly don't mind donations to my college fund, but I'll feel guilty if you give me more than $5 for this :-). You can distribute it freely, as long as 1) this file accompanies it, 2) neither file is modified in any way, and 3) you don't charge more than the cost of distribution. If you want to include this with a commercial product, please get my permission first.
