Mathew,
No, it's not a stupid policy. It's the normal policy for any software
publisher. The BridgeBoard hardware comes with the proper software as
part of the package. If you didn't get the software, you got cheated by
whomever you bought the BB from…Commodore didn't cheat you.
Commodore upgrades their software on occasion and they charge for the
upgrades. The BridgeBoard software is available as a separate package;
which for you may be your original software set…but for just about
everyone else, it's an upgrade.
To do as you suggest…distribute the software for free because you
didn't receive it when you got your BB would be stupid. Because it would
assume that every person out there was totally honest and wouldn't ever
ask for a software update for free by claiming they never got their
software when they got their BB.
