It's worth pointing out _why_ they are doing this, since the website
doesn't mention it:
Codeweavers promised to give away their software for a day if one of
five things happened during the remainder of the Bush administration.
One of those things was the average petrol price in (I think) New York
falling below a certain threshold. This happened a little while ago,
hence the giveaway.
Another event was the average price of milk falling below a certain
level, which is getting close, so there might be another giveaway day
in the near future.
Ars has a little more info (though you can't read the original press
releases because Codeweavers is under such heavy load):
