IIUC correctly, zero cost means no annual > fees, and some entry price for the compiler and tools. http://www.aonix.com/pr_01.31.07.html | Shipping and Availability: ObjectAda for Linux V8.2 is available | immediately. There is no charge for annual development licenses with | 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. Regards -- Markus
