Not entirely: you get to use the basic bits free; it's only the optional
extra features that cost.  It's very different to the situation with QT
2.5(?), which you originally had to pay for if you wanted to use it at
all.  I recall the irritation when Apple decided to give it away after
all: I read a news posting from someone who'd paid for it the day before
Apple released it for free.
