   It seems that it does:   
      
      
      
   >Serif (Europe) Ltd (known as Roleage Ltd before 1988) is a British software   
   developer and publisher, best known for its Affinity suite of professional   
   graphic design, photo editing, and desktop publishing software. The company   
   delivers products directly    
   to consumers through its dedicated website and contact centre, as well as   
   through various retailers.

   That takes me back a bit. I'm sure I used free versions of Serif   
   stuff back in the 90s.
