Cracked tools

Cracked (commercial) tools/applications (mainly from the start of the C64 era) should be filed under C64 CRACKS, not C64 TOOLS.

A couple months ago I uploaded these two (as an example to the topic) :
Wave Logo-Editor
Nigel's Music Routine
These are tools but also have linked an ICS intro before them, so I'd take to your point of view that these should be under "cracks" ?

I've noticed some other ICS releases are under C64 tool category as well, even though they are just a cracking group.

Well, ICS put a lot of spreading intros. I'd bet these tools were not cracked but only introlinked for spreading.

I agree on the part of them having to be listed as cracks if they are actually cracked. However, this may make it a bit tricky when looking for tools... how about either dual catagories ( so it can be filed under C64 Tools *and* C64 Cracks )? or perhaps a C64 Cracked Tools catagory, although that goes a bit ( or byte, if you will ) too far.

TAGs could solve this issue easily.

I'd rather chose the option to expand CSDb to commercial software and include original tool .t64, .crt and .g64 files.
