Gas falls; software is free

The price of gasoline has fallen by over a dollar at most gas stations, causing a little-known “free software clause” to kick in. As a result, CodeWeavers is giving away its software today (October 28, 2008).

Domestic automakers have apparently received some benefit as well, with big pickups and SUVs reportedly regaining some of their market share, albeit without coming close to their pre-gas-price-hike sales volume.
