Software Description
The following is a description of InPaint, as per the developer:
Inpaint Overview
Do you have a photo that would look just right if you could only remove one or more objects or persons from your composition? For example, look at the following two pictures. The original on the left features a large building in the foreground that dominates the scene while also blocking an uninterrupted view of the horizon. If we could somehow remove this, it would open up the entire view. You can see what we mean in the picture on the right. With the building gone, we can really appreciate the full beauty of this landscape. Well, now you can remove just about any unwanted object or person using Inpaint.

dotTech Advice
dotTech reviewed InPaint (v3.0) back in back in January 2011. The final verdict of that review describes how I feel about the program:
InPaint is a good program. The performance will vary depending on the image being processed and how you handle the selection and processing, but InPaint is simple enough for novices and yet still handy for a quick touch up by a professional; it works quickly and does a good job, for the most part. [...]
I highly recommend InPaint.
Freebie Details
InPaint is being offered for free in a promotion by WinLoad.de. There is no information if you can install/reinstall at a later date (I believe you can, though) nor is there information on how long this promotion will last (the promotion page says “only a short time”).
This promotion is a German promotion but the program is in English.

Still available
After a quick glance on that site it seems to still be available. Also, today GOTD offers “Photo Objects Eraser”, which is the new version of Inpaint.
@Watcher1924: This is MUCH better than POE, Watcher1924. POE is more like a 1991 version of InPaint, and watered-down, at that. ;)
Still available, and the Product Key is the same as that posted by J.
Update: “Photo Objects Eraser” insn’t a version of Inpaint; it is a version of a program named “Inpaint Tool” for obvious reasons.
There has been a confusion ans several GOTD users like me thought the same because the phrase “Photo Objects Eraser (formerly Inpaint Tool)” is used on the program site

and the first hours was in the caption of the GOTD page.
