It's about liberty

``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in ``free beer.'' see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Besides, you don't have to buy the developer guide. You're perfectly welcome to figure out everything on your own (there's quite a comprehensive set of demos included in the package to let you do just that).

JBoss and quite many other open-source systems handle the same model. Get the software for free, but pay for priority support if you need it.
