They can (probably) get away with this due to the fact that the Wayfinder software is not the Navicore software and that therefore different license terms can be applied.

Regardless, if your maps application says 'Wayfinder' then it will expire, probably sometime this year. If you still have a valid license it shows you the expiration date somewhere on the about screen. I suggest you check that so you can get prepared and not left in the lurch like me.
The expiration is a huge disappointment and a betrayal too since I specifically asked about this (I still got the email reply). My three-year period from the purchase of Navicore will be over in April, 2010.

It might be that Wayfinder is not very interested in replying to you (quote from http://www.wayfinder.com/?id=3985)

It is because of our new status as part of the Vodafone Group we will not be further developing Wayfinder products, beyond their current version.
