Hi Andreas, Many of vendors have academic programs and so on. We may ask for full licenses for free, non-commercial use (documentation). If they'll decline we may back to open sourced tools. What is important for me - is multi platform. Some of you working on Macs, others on Linux and I on windows. ;-) Created diagram should be exportable to some text form (for example XML/XMI) and easy to put into version control to allow tracking it and modification in future.

Although not too pretty e.g. bouml [1] should do the job. At least it is open source and available pre-packed on all (major) platforms/distributions.
