- I infer that Checklinks isn't copyleft. This makes it curiously reminiscent of Xenu's Link Sleuth, freeware but not free software (and thus only available for MS Windows), and, years after my departure from MS Windows, one of only a tiny number of aspects of MS Windows that I miss. -- Hoary (talk) 00:01, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
