        I know, it looses on a technicality.

        Aside from the comma splice, did you mean ‘loses’ or ‘loosens’?

          My bad. It’s lose, as in “not win”. In this case, “it does not earn a place on the list due to a technicality”. The technicality, being an infinite free trial does not truly count in the spirit of being free.
