What is DRM Free Fallout?

I posted the link to Fallout 1 on gog.com to my facebook and I noticed in the info spot it says "buy DRM-Free version of Fallout..." what is DRM-Free?

It doesn't have any form of DRM I would assume.


If you don't know what DRM is, you could http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management.

It means it has no copy protection, so if you buy a new PC, there's no technical problem moving it from one PC to another.

(You would of course probably need to remove it from the first PC when complete to meet the conditions of the EULA, and no you're not allowed to give it to a friend).

Incidentally... Fallout never had any DRM to begin with.

And as I understand it (though I've not gone back to check), I do believe that you can install GOG's version concurrently on as many PC's as you own, and download your purchased games from anywhere to play them on demand.
