I did not write that WDSC is 'free'. But I think IBM (well, some parts, anyway)is smart enough to recognize that it is only direct revenue that counts. Eclipseis free, and IBM invests money in it.

RPG compiler used to cost something like $2500, now it costs $8000 but

the repackaged everything and charge you one price and give you the
impression that it is "free". Apparently some people believe it.
