I don't have to do with RR Software's pricing policy, but I believe:
  1) There is in fact a free demo version at www.rrsoftware.com
  2) The $500 includes support.
  3) There are site and educational discounts available.

  If you know of someone who will pay programmers to write
advertising material for Ada, please let me know.  Similarly
if you would like to send me money to let me "do my thing".
Absent these, since my family insists on eating and the grocery
store insists on cash, it is necessary to charge for
software products.

  Perhaps because CLAW is a heck of a lot easier?
