Eagle is *not* in general free. The size-limited version is free for hobbyists only; if you sell the products you use it to make, it is not free.
Whether one chooses to abuse this policy is of course up to the individual.
That's true. I am not in a business of making PC boards, so I could (when I feel a bit more rich) go for the "non-profit" category, since I've got a few projects that the 4 inch max size limitation is rather unpleasant (mostly front panel stuff).
I did think that the person who needed the information might read the web page, but then again
Which is quite true.
I've been impressed with the program, the only gripe I have is that the pads are far too small for my liking, on things like headers, resistors and capacitors. Might work fine for plated through holes, but for a single sided board, is not optimal, I think.
If you are going to make these boards for a living, then you bite the bullet and pay for what you need.

But, you can change those, with a bit of work in the parts editor. You could create a library of 'alternate' parts for single-sided boards, if you wanted.
