Looking at their website it still says:
"Because the scope of this project has grown beyond the capacity of a
single volunteer and legal issues prevent us from using a classic
open-source development model, the modem drivers are now available in
two editions:
* a free version (limited to 14.4Kbps data), available at no cost.
Please use it to test if your hardware is compatible.
* a full version (with 56K and FAX), available for a modest price."
OTOH that looks as though it was part of the original announcement, its
just that its hard to find a contrary announcement.
