Just to clarify:
There is a free version that allows you to develop for/play with the 
system, but not use it in any meaningful[ie commercial] way.

For a commercial license you have to pay $250.

Than you can also buy additional modules for the system.

My experience with systems marketed like this is that there is a low 
level of community help, with most developers refraining from offering 
advice unless paid to do so.

It's odd, but I find in the pure open source and pure commercial markets 
there is more openness and give and take than in pseodo open source ones.
