A.1. Does freeware really mean "free?"
Yes. And you may distribute this module with your own free or commercial products, as long as EXIT911.NLM is not modified in any way.
A.2. Why not use the file's date and time to determine the version?
File dates and times are easily changed for a variety of reasons, including bugs in software or design shortcomings with some file transfer protocols, and are therefore totally unreliable.
Since version numbers on NetWare are embedded in the NLM, safe from bugs and design flaws, the network administrator can accurately determine the version number by loading the NLM at the console prompt.
