#2CS2 is not a Universal App on Macs, so this takes a PowerPC Mac, or Mac OS old enough to run Rosetta (Snow Leopard).

Thanks for the warning, the Windows versions it is then..
But hey, can't complain since it's free ;)

#4I've seen this linked on other sites I use, but what is unclear is if we're meant to have access to this.
It would be nice to see a notice from Adobe announcing this as freely available to the public.
I'm just uncomfortable with the fact that this potentially could be some individual's screw up and that for all intents and purposes we're pirating it (since there is no licence).

A store has a sign that says "free bread", you take a loaf, and later it turns out that the sign was put out by mistake- are you a thief?

#6Makes sense - people who would actually pay for Adobe software probably wouldn't settle for a free 6-7 year-old version, and people who wouldn't pay for Photoshop anyhow will use the free versions, meaning (a) it's now really hard to be "the cheaper Photoshop" if you're a competitor, and (b) once the guys using the free CS2 can afford to buy this sort of software, they'll probably get CS6 instead of a competitor because they're more familiar with it.

If you have vmware Fusion, you can install Snow Leopard within your Lion or Mountain Lion.

His point was that the allegorical "free CS2" sign is conspicuously missing in this case. I couldn't find one either...

I don't see a sign that says "free bread" that is my issue.
