There's a big difference. The Borland products being given away on
magazine covers (Borland Delphi, for example, is on the cover this month
of one of the mags that I buy each month) do NOT come with a
distribution licence - it's illegal to distribute software written with
these versions of the software.

They're fine for learning with, but that's all you can do with them.
