There was a time when AvantGo was free in price, but the licence isn't GPL, so the screws can be turned later on if need be. AvantGo started their fees on distribution of channels >8 users, once their financial situation worsened. Sun unfortunately is also in hard times and doesn't look like things are about to reverse anytime soon. I wonder if they will convert Java to GPL, or not.
