          There used to be small print on the Synergy website stating that the payment is to download synergy. It's still open source, and you can might be able to build it yourself, but it might need proprietary binaries.

            I believe there is 1 issue with building yourself: the compiled version uses closed source binaries (and that is probably also the reason why it costs money) and those are not included in the build you do yourself. Synergy is worth the 29 dollars (lucky me got a free license for beta testing ;-) )

          • No. You need to follow the instructions for Windows on Windows 10 and the instructions for Ubuntu on Ubuntu 18.04. The easiest and cheapest solution might be to just use Barrier
