True, as long as there is no license clause for future revocation of the
free license at the vendor's whim. Kinda like the M$ clause in their
*open* XML standard. Also, without source, deployments still are under
threat of discontinued support. Kinda like Solaris 9 when Sun said they
didn't know whether the x86 version would be released.
