Adobe wants to stop with the registration servers for CS2 and therefore gives all software for free including serial numbers. Check their website: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html
Okay, the software is rather old. But it's up to you to choose a legal CS2 Photoshop instead of e.g. a Photoshop Elements latest version.
Should I point out that it's not actually 'free', they are just not policing the license any more and that if you use it without giving them money, you can't legally use it?
No, it's not free. The registration numbers were not sent out with all the downloads and they are giving them to those who have already purchased CS2. If you ever want to upgrade you will need those serial numbers. http://www.slrlounge.com/news-adobe-creative-suite-cs2-is-not-for-free
Lol adobe doesnt give anything away for free. They are just terminating their activation servers thats all. You still have to have a valid license for cs2 they are just providing a serial number thats all. Adobe has since released a statement saying its not free to download unless you have already purchased it.
@zody Same here---I was so sad not to be able to run my CS2, Dreamweaver 4 and my Office for Mas when I got a new Mac with Lion. :-( All that money....

According to Adobe
"The known Photoshop specific issues are that PPC based droplets and versions of Photoshop CS2 and earlier will not be able to run on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) due to the lack of Rosetta support in 10.7."
