'Scuze me for ranting, but too often these software project pages make the visitor hunt for the licence. Is this GPL or BSD or proprietary or what? Where's the source?

They're not saying - or it was taking too long for me to find. As a general rule, if there's a big "download" button and they're urging you to try something before they will give up any real info about it (or worse, insetead of), well that strikes me as scammy and I just link away.

You are right. License info are missing. We'll fix it. Pingendo in not planned to be released as open-source. It's available in free download during the beta period. A commercial version will follow. The download contains xulrunner and pingendo binaries. Thank you.
Will it remain free for people who download it now? Or will it expire in a few weeks when the commercial version comes out?
At the moment is not planned to keep it free once finished the beta period. but everything 'possible. Anyway we'll be happy to provide you with a free license to thank you for your feedback!
Any idea on price yet?
No sorry! :)
