Not at all - You can place orders or take orders for anything free or
otherwise.
It does seem to me there are double standards here. Several software authors
have made a great deal of money out of fellow radio amateurs without a word
being said and those amateurs have been happy enough to advertise and plug the
software on behalf of the authors. The same applies to some hardware also.
As to pointing to his web site - How many thousands of times have you seen
bulletins pointing people to commercial web sites when they have enquired
about parts?
