-BootCaT is a free software program developed by people at the universities of Bologna, Trento and Zagreb and is in no way affiliated to Bing, a commercial service owned by Microsoft. The main reason for using Bing to retrieve URLs is the fact that it offers a limited number of free queries a month: we don't get a cut if you buy a paid account from the Windows Azure Marketplace, nor are we responsible for anything related to Bing.
