Those of you who have been following the Exemptionware project since its inception in 2009 may have noticed that we have increased the number of developers who have signed up to the project significantly in recent months.

We are very pleased to announce the latest developer to join the programme is Wolfgang Maichen, creator of a number of music and music composition related applications for Windows CE.

Wolfgang has kindly released 5 of his previously commercial titles to the community under the usual "rights reserved", no support expressed or implied Exemptionware model.
