The Free Zone is something that is very new we recently setup.
It was setup to emphasize we are not charging people to post. The premium subscription, which is optional, just gives you a lot of nice advanced features...and no ads.
Some boards remain in Premium categories, because of the nature of the boards. But this one is in the 'Free Zone'
Regarding the copying/pasting thing, I wouldn't have a problem with it, if there was a link supplied to the source.
