| Shipping and Availability: ObjectAda for Linux V8.2 is available

| an active service plan. Service plans are priced at $3000 for a
| single user or $12,000 for a 5-user service pack.

And if I understand it correectly, a service plan is still something
you have to pay per year. I wonder where the 0-cost is there? Or
perhaps AONIX should have word with their PR department on that
wording.
