This is the response I received from the maintainer of cwRsync. Reads like this is a permanent change.

We don’t offer free versions of our products any longer. We are a company and want to offer high quality and up to date open source installer packages producing a value to our customers. It is not a viable alternative to offer them as free. You can see the same trend in the industry. Everything costs something now. Even to produce an GDPR compliant privacy policy.
