March Hare, the owner of CVSNT, announced that now to download the community edition a distribution fee has to be paid. That's not cheap at all at £426 - the price looks really to be set not to get some support for the community edition, but to drive people away from it and to the commercial suite. This is the last act in a series of attempts to stop people using the "free" edition of CVSNT, March Hare started with nag messages written into the log, then with nag screens, then introducing changes not available in the community edition (and I wonder if they didn't break the GPL doing so, especially since this is a fork from the original CVS, and it was never dual licensed) and now asking to pay that sum to download it
