Photoshop was never 'free'. There was a time when those who in the past had purchased a valid licence for the product, but couldn't activate the license due to the servers being removed, could get a copy. Again, those were actual users who had in the past, purcahsed a licence.

In addition to never being free, the aging activation servers for CS2 have been shut down. It cannot be activated even if you already have a legitimate copy.
