This is the same business model as AdaCore. You pay nothing for the
compiler. You only pay for support.

I disagree. "There is no charge for annual development licenses with
an active service plan." What without an active service plan? The
wording seems to indicate that then there is a "charge for annual
development licenses".

I don't see zero cost there or the wording is buggy. Therefore my
suggestion that they have a word with the people who write those press
releases for them.
