Is it illegal to have the adobe traffic pack on your system?

I ask this because I've been reading about the pack here:

I read most of the posts in that thread blah blah blah.
They are only using free-ware but not giving credit to the designers of that free-ware.
Are they violating some of the EULA's that were in with the individual downloads, yes.
It's up to the individual if he wants to download this package, they aren't charging for it so they are "severely bending" the EULA's.

I wouldn't. I use Ultimate Traffic but getting it free and they haven't been shut down.
I guess it's not really "illegal" in the true sense of being illegal just a "not nice" thing to do.
