I dont really see how this SDK can be hacked into a "100% free product" as its a really cut down version. Kinda like buying a scanner and receiving a "lite" version of photoshop with it - a taster more than anything.
My concern is this: Surely its Amiga inc. that should be sending out taster's. I know that DE is intended for interactivity - multimedia, PDA, set top box etc... and intent is for embedded stuff in your Car, Fridge, toaster etc... but Digital is a mag for the average joe. Why would he/she code for a fridge? If TAO stuck there SDK on a mag thats subscribed to by the embedded systems industry - that would be different, cos these guys would be coding for such devices.
