Exchange your Cinch license for Cinch in the Mac App Store!

I've read a few articles over the web recently which are mostly "rants" at one of Apple's new Mac Store policy.  Most specifically the fact that if you currently own a piece of software that's now in the Mac App Store in order to qualify for upgrades through the App Store you have to re-purchase the app.

Seems some developers agree with the unfairness of this policy.  

Most specifically Irradiated Software who makes Cinch.

If you have not tried Cinch, you should.  It's pretty nifty software that allows you to organize windows easily by dragging them to certain areas of your screen.

If you currently own Cinch and want to switch to the Mac App Store version all you have to do is buy it from the App Store then send your proof of purchase to appstore2@irradiatedsoftware.com.  As soon as they receive it they'll refund your original purchase of Cinch back to the Pay Pal account you used.

Here's hoping more developers follow the same practice.
