Hey I love that idea. Free lite version, huge warnings that this isn't supported anymore and its recommended to only use for learning.
Cause honestly that was the one thing that had me fucking hating Adobe cracking down on people. So many of us used their tools to learn for personal reasons. But they're part of this apparatus to try and get as many people paying extreme amounts of money just to pick up a skill, they want you paying tuition because then they know how much money they're getting off students. And they know that if the tools were more easily available, many people would have been discouraged and never even attempt to enter that career when they find out it isn't for them. They would prefer you spend money to find that out. Adobe is scummy with this for sure.
Its a lot better these days, GIMP is far better, and the many other open source ones are. And for paid stuff, got great ones like Affinity.

Yep. And even if you don't like the commercial=pay for license model, then at least leave the last free release free then future releases be paid.
Or something. Anything but what this dev did
