If you had said the IBM i I wouldn't have quibbled but ... RPG ?

On the _top_ level the cost of an OA run time is $5,000. At the bottom end (where 99% of the customers will be) it is $500 or $1,000. Given that this is a per server (not user or partition) license how on earth can you can peg this as a cash grab?

I would have preferred it to be free, but that was Rational's decision.

But cash grab? - let's be real.
