The community edition will always be free to download. The enterprise
edition will require registration for an evaluation. The OpenGeo
workshops (workshops.opengeo.org) are free with registration.

We imagine our market is not individuals (who often have competence
but generally no budget) but rather organizations, whose access to
competent individuals ebbs and flows as they enter or leave the
organization, but sometimes do have budget to buy a guarantee of
access to competence (us).
