Email required to download software now? Boo! (1 reply)
I was also somewhat dismayed to see this.
I needed to download a new copy of Express PCB for a different computer. Even after logging in to my account I still got a pop-up message when I used the large download buttons at the top of the main page, asking me for my email address along with a disclaimer that I'll be signed up for spam with no opt-out checkbox.
The beauties of ExpressPCB are the low barrier to entry and ease of use. I hate to see the "email required to download software" barrier that has appeared.
KiCad 5 is coming; don't screw up the things that differentiate ExpressPCB and make it more appealing to use than the alternatives.
