Free Language has recently added two commercial language-learning software products to the site in order to generate funds.
Thus far, articles for Rosetta Stone in Rosetta Stone Learn Japanese Level 1 Language Software and Rosetta Stone Learn Arabic Level 1 Language Software have been added.
From the site:
Comments
Rosetta Stone has made a name for itself selling proprietary software that allows people to quickly and easily learn languages interactively.
You may have seen them selling their wares in the airport.
Software License
Rosetta Stone is proprietary software.
View specific license for your country.
Not to be confused with the Free Software GPL Rosetta Stone Library.
Why Commercial?
Commercial software has been integrated to generate revenue for site improvements that will help achieve the mission.
Consequently, the end goal of this site will effectively eliminate the need for commercial software. By then it won't matter because the resources will already be free and the knowledgebase and interface will be open and collective.
Real Deal
We're manifesting funds to better the site, improve user interface and create an online free and open interactive language exchange tool.
