They're not identical feature-wise. Pro has more work put into it than GPL =
as does GPL over FSF. Therefore, it is crippleware as FSF is buggier than G=
PL and GPL is buggier than Pro. One feature in Pro may be completely broken=
 in FSF and partially working in GPL. God, it took them years to sort out i=
nterfaces.
