See my recent speculations: I really think they /want/ to give away the 
stuff away for free for anyone to try, with the aim to get people hooked 
to buy the newer versions (note the CS6 advertisement on the page!), but 
can't do so legally due to some 3rd party intellectual property in CS2. 
Codecs, color management stuff, fonts - whatever.
