Impressions and conclusions

Grab&Burn is a lightweight application that is full of features. Almost any function that you can imagine doing with your DVD is implemented in Grab&Burn. It is also worth mentioning that Grab&Burn is free. It comes with adware license and full registration costs as low as $19 (this gets all the ads removed completely).

In Rocket's own foprum, it appears that it is NOT adware, other than some promotion of their own products, but does have some restrictions.

And this says "free of charge"

And in the order/download, it's stated as Adware - trouble is, "Adware" covers a multitude of things, from objectionable junk like Gator/Claria and worse, down to restrained promotional banners with nothing installed outside the program and no unwanted communication.
