Well the devices created with the free SDK can be handled as free devices to share. CW knows who exactly has bought the SDK and check around that no free SDK developed devices will be sold. Also for better and deeper programming the Analog Devices Stuff is still needed (the Sharc programmer and VisualDSP) so the free devices are more or less good to differ from the Paid SDK devices. The NDA has very strict rules.
If a user who paid for the SDK releases a device from a freeSDK user it's his own fault imho. The free release of the SDK won't degrade the fullSDK users but open a fresh new development of many devices, new ideas, new air

).
I think new ideas of synth's will also help the fullSDK owners to create new devices in reworking a new idea... correspondence and collaboration is surely needed but for me as potential freeSDK user a benefit of developed devices (in other words money) is out of question(never would do that. Also never did with Synthedit (modular VSTi Development) although i bought the license to do). I hope for the best in future, many devices and cool new ideas of synthesis
The re registration of SP4 had its sense. Also the automated system worked well on testing. Due excessive accesses from users the server makes errors but will be automatically reset hourly. So if it won't work try it somewhat later. Thats the reason why some users got the reg and some not or later than others... Its understandable that a server even a big one can't serve thousands of requests at the same time... there are more than 20000 regg'd users out there which try to get the SP4 just remind that
