Yeah.  Still, it's cool, and a nice little feather in GOG's cap for people who don't know different.

The more that release old classics like that for free (legally), the better. :P

Quote

Revolution Software is officially on board with two Broken Sword games! Today's announcement is putting an end to "GOG.com fever month", but that doesn't mean we don’t have a few more things up our sleeves.

The Broken Sword series is constantly placed on the list of best games ever written and BS2: The Smoking Mirror is no exception. Yet another point-and-click game, this time a bit more serious one, which doesn't necessarily mean there's no humor involved. The game features an absorbing plot and cartoon-style graphics with beautiful, hand-drawn backgrounds. You start the game as George Stobbart, an adventurer who finds himself tied to a chair with a poisonous spider lurking in the room, right after witnessing his friend, Nico, being kidnapped. After that the suspense only escalates, right until the end.

Also, Broken Sword 3: The Sleeping Dragon will soon be joining the GOG Club for $5.99 -- this version will be DRM-free.
(If y'all remember, the retail CD version was equipped w/ StarForce)

Joystiq -> Broken Sword: Shadow of The Templars - Director's Cut owners on GOG, you can also now download The Original Version of the game for FREE. (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/14/original-broken-sword-now-included-with-directors-cut-on-gog/)

There've been complaints that BS: SOTT - DC Version on GOG has changed some of the content in the game quite a bit...
So Revolution and GOG now have made things ideal for their fans:
Director's Cut owners also get the Original Version for FREE, too.
